United Nations Social Justice Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the United Nations, \u201cSocial justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and among nations. We uphold the principles of social justice when we promote gender equality or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. We advance social justice when we remove barriers that people face because of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Justice is the core of the global mission of the United Nations to encourage development and human dignity. The United Nations has adopted the International Labour Organization of the Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization which sets an example of the UN\u2019s commitment towards Social Justice at the Global Level. This helps in making fair results for all, through social protection, employment, social dialogue, as well as fundamental principles and rights at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
