ITUC-Asia Pacific and affiliates push for genuine labour reforms in Bangladesh, not empty commitments
ITUC-Asia Pacific supports its affiliates in Bangladesh in calling for the full and transparent implementation of the International Labour Organization (ILO) roadmap, which outlines critical labour rights reforms that Bangladesh must undertake to comply with international labour standards. Following the review at the 353rd Session of the ILO Governing Body in Geneva, ITUC-Asia Pacific and its affiliates acknowledge the interim government’s initial steps to address labour rights concerns, but they remain deeply concerned about the persistent gaps in labour law reforms, trade union registration, and the enforcement of workers’ rights.

Impeaching Yoon Suk Yeol: A victory of people’s Power in Korea to protect democracy
On 14 December, South Korea’s National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol with more than a two-thirds majority. Consequently, Yoon’s duties have been suspended, and the Constitutional Court now has up to 180 days to decide whether to remove him from office. Considering the gravity of his act of rebellion to subvert constitutional orders—by criticizing opposition parties for not aligning with his views and using the military and police to storm the legislature, as well as to suppress the rights and freedoms of the people—the National Assembly’s decision should be seen as entirely justified.

Millions join protest across India on Constitution Day, demand action on farmers’ and workers’ rights
On 26 November 2024, millions of farmers and workers held coordinated protests in over 500 districts across India, marking the fourth anniversary of the farmers’ historic struggle that began alongside a nationwide workers’ strike. The protests were jointly organised by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions (CTUs) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) to demand urgent action on a wide-ranging charter of demands (see photos below), focusing on addressing the deepening agrarian crisis, economic inequalities, loss of social security, and government policies that favour corporations at the expense of ordinary citizens.
