The document discusses the history and principles of social security. It notes that while social security is a recognized human right, 80% of the world's population lacks access to social protection programs. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has worked since its founding in 1919 to extend social security worldwide. Key ILO conventions and recommendations established modern concepts of social security, moving beyond just insurance programs. The document outlines the principles and approaches of social security, as well as the major ILO conventions related to social protection.

The case for a maternity protection social insurance scheme in zimbabwe a t...CosmasCHIKWAWAWA1
Maternity protection has gained salience in the last few
decades as women of child-bearing age are increasingly joining
the labour market. Policies that ensure maternity protection
schemes that include paid maternity leave are important in
safeguarding the health and livelihood of women and children.
Research-based evidence generally suggests that maternity
protection is associated with higher rates of breastfeeding and
vaccinations in low and middle income countries. Longer paid
maternity leave may reduce infant and maternal mortality. With
more and more women of child-bearing age entering the
workforce, governments it is incumbent for governments to
adapt policies that guarantee that employed mothers and their
families are able to provide essential care during pregnancy,
delivery and lactation, without losing income and employment
opportunities. Inadequate maternity protection undermines
maternal and infant health care, thereby forcing families into
catastrophic and impoverishing healthcare expenditure.
Manifestly, more effort is needed to bridge the gap between
international aspirations for maternity protection, as reflected in
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the
International Labour Organisation’s Decent Work Agenda and
the poignant realities in low income countries. Zimbabwe, like
most developing countries does not have a maternity protection
social insurance scheme for working women, in spite of its
critical importance to the well-being of women and children as
well as to social and economic development. This paper, thus,
endeavours to present robust arguments for the development
and introduction of a maternity protection scheme in Zimbabwe,
while acknowledging that currently the country offers
substantial maternity protection through constitutional and
legislative provisions that enjoin the state and employers to
ensure that there is a considerable measure of maternity
protection. Although the constitutional and legislative provisions
provide a significant foundation for maternity protection policies
and programmes, they are not adequate as they do not
sufficiently address the issue address of maternal and child
healthcare and cash benefits to cater the costs attendant to
maternity.
World Social Protection Report 2014/15 Building economic recovery, inclusive ...Dr Lendy Spires
As more countries move from employer liability as the basis for employment injury protection to a mechanism based on social insurance, levels of protection for workers are likely to improve but only if new laws are effectively enforced. Disability benefits Social protection plays a key role in meeting the specific needs of persons with disabilities with regard to income security, access to health care and social inclusion.
Effective measures to support persons with dis-abilities in finding and retaining quality employment are a key element of non-discriminatory and inclusive policies that help to realize their rights and aspirations as productive members of society. Complementing contributory schemes, non-contributory disability benefits play a key role in protecting those persons with disabilities who have not (yet) earned entitlements to contributory schemes.
Only 87 countries offer such non-contributory benefits anchored in national legislation, which would provide at least a minimum level of income security for those disabled from birth or before working age, and those who for any reason have not had the opportunity to contribute to social insurance for long enough to be eligible for benefits. Maternity protection Effective maternity protection ensures income security for pregnant women and mothers of newborn children and their families, and also effective access to quality maternal health care. It also promotes equality in employment and occupation.
Worldwide, less than 40 per cent of women in employment are covered by law under mandatory maternity cash benefit schemes; 57 per cent if voluntary coverage (mainly for women in self-employment) is included. Due to the ineffective enforcement and implementation of the law in some regions (Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and Africa in particular), effective coverage is even lower: only 28 per cent of women in employment worldwide are protected through maternity cash benefits which provide some income security in during the final stages of pregnancy and after childbirth; the absence of income security forces many women to return to work prematurely.
An increasing number of countries are using non-contributory maternity cash benefits as a means to improve income security and access to maternal and child health care for pregnant women and new mothers, particularly for women living in poverty. However, significant gaps remain. Ensuring effective access to quality maternal health care is of particular importance, especially in countries where the informal economy accounts for a large pro-portion of employment.
Old-age pensions: A state responsibility The right to income security in old age, as grounded in human rights instruments and international labour standards, includes the right to an adequate pension. However, nearly half (48 per cent) of all people over pensionable age do not receive a pension. For many of those who do receive a pension, pension levels are not adequate.
Universal health coverage (UHC) means that all people and communities can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.
RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
Introducing New Government Regulation on Toll Road.pdfAHRP Law Firm
For nearly two decades, Government Regulation Number 15 of 2005 on Toll Roads ("GR No. 15/2005") has served as the cornerstone of toll road legislation. However, with the emergence of various new developments and legal requirements, the Government has enacted Government Regulation Number 23 of 2024 on Toll Roads to replace GR No. 15/2005. This new regulation introduces several provisions impacting toll business entities and toll road users. Find out more out insights about this topic in our Legal Brief publication.

2. Social security..
Social security is declared as a human right in the major
United Nations human rights instruments. However, at the
beginning of the twenty-first century, access to any form of
social protection remains a dream for 80 per cent of the
world’s population.
Social protection is a powerful tool for alleviating poverty and
inequality.
In accordance with the aims and purposes set out in the
Preamble to the ILO Constitution (1919), the extension of
social security worldwide has consistently been one of
the main objectives of the Organization.
This mandate, restated in 1944 in the Declaration of
Philadelphia, part of the ILO Constitution, recognizes the
“solemn obligation of the International Labour Organization to
further among the nations of the world programmes which will
achieve”, among others, “the extension of social security
measures to provide a basic income to all in need of such
protection and comprehensive medical care”, as well as
“provision for child welfare and maternity protection”,
thereby extending the protection from workers to all those
12/27/2019
3. Based on international human rights instruments, ILO
constitutive documents and social security Conventions
and Recommendations subsequently adopted by the ILO,
social security may be defined as:
“The adoption of public measures to ensure basic income
security to all in need of protection, in order to relieve want
and prevent destitution by restoring up to a certain level
income which is lost or reduced by reason of inability to
work or to obtain remunerative work due to the occurrence
of various contingencies: sickness, unemployment, old
age, employment injury, family responsibilities, maternity,
invalidity or death of the breadwinner.”
Social security therefore occupies a predominant place in
the activities of the ILO.
Pursuant to its mandate, the strengthening of social
security was established as one of the four strategic
objectives of the Decent Work Agenda, presented by
the ILO Director General and adopted by the
International Labour Conference in 1999. 12/27/2019
4. Development of Social Security
The first generation of standards corresponds to the
instruments adopted from the creation of the ILO to the
end of the Second World War. Most of these standards
envisage social insurance as the means for their
application.
The second generation of standards corresponds to the
era of social security. While no ILO Conventions were
adopted between 1940 and 1945, these were years of
intensive creation in the field of modern social security,
with standard-setting activities taking on a more
global and broader conception of social security.
Two important Recommendations, adopted in 1944, set
forth this new conception: the Income Security
Recommendation, 1944 (No. 67), and the Medical Care
Recommendation, 1944 (No. 69).
These Recommendations opened the way for the adoption
of the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention,
1952 (No. 102), which is the landmark Convention in the
12/27/2019
5. The third generation of standards corresponds
to the instruments adopted after Convention No.
102. They offer a higher level of protection in
terms of the population covered and the level of
benefits and revise first-generation standards.
Since the establishment of the ILO, the
International Labour Conference has adopted 31
Conventions and 23 Recommendations on social
security.
The first international Convention on social
security (maternity protection) was adopted at
the 1st Session of the Conference, in 1919, while
the most recent one, revising earlier standards on
maternity protection, was adopted in 2000.
In 2002, the ILO Governing Body confirmed six

9. Main features of Recommendations Nos. 67 and 69
The adoption of Recommendations Nos. 67 and 69 by the
International Labour Conference was an important
milestone in the development of international legal
instruments in the field of social security.
For the first time in history, guiding principles were
established in a comprehensive way for eight social
security contingencies and medical care, complemented
by the social assistance model.
This new concept was laid down in Recommendation No.
67 by providing the main features of income security
schemes. It establishes the following contingencies, for
which cash benefits should be provided:
sickness;
maternity;
invalidity;
old age;
death of the breadwinner;
unemployment;
emergency expenses; 12/27/2019
10. It also established the principles of social assistance,
along the following lines:
General measures of assistance to secure the well-
being of dependent children;
Special maintenance allowances at prescribed rates
for invalids, aged persons and widows if they were not
compulsory insured;
General assistance for all persons who are in want
and do not require internment for corrective care.
Recommendation No. 69 is based on the principle
that the availability of adequate medical care
constitutes an essential element of social security.
12/27/2019
11. Main features of Convention No. 102
Convention No. 102 is the flagship of the six up-to-date
social security Conventions. It is the only international
Convention which defines the nine classical branches of
social security and sets minimum standards for each.
These are:
Medical care: The contingencies covered include any
morbid condition, whatever its cause, and the medical care
required as a result, as well as the medical care
necessitated by pregnancy, confinement and their
consequences; medical care of a preventive nature is also
covered.
Sickness benefit: The contingency covered includes
incapacity for work resulting from a morbid condition and
involving suspension of earnings.
Unemployment benefit: The contingency covered
includes suspension or loss of earnings due to inability to
obtain suitable employment.
Old-age benefit: The contingency covered is survival
beyond a prescribed age (normally not higher than 65
years).
12/27/2019
12. Family benefit: The contingency covered is the
responsibility for the maintenance of children, i.e.,
under school-leaving age or under 15 years of age.
Maternity benefit: The contingencies covered are the
medical care required by pregnancy, confinement and
their consequences and the resulting suspension of
earnings.
Invalidity benefit: The contingency covered is the
inability to engage in any gainful activity where such
inability is likely to be permanent or persists after the
period during which the beneficiary is entitled to
benefit from temporary incapacity.
Survivors’ benefit: The contingency covered is the
loss of support suffered by the widow or children as a
result of the death of the breadwinner 12/27/2019
