The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 13 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | The emergence of the Social Protection Floor Initiative at the international level has been well documented. In telegraphic form, most analyses begin with the harsh adjustment policies associated with the "Washington Consensus" of the 1980s, the reaction to those policies by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and other actors, the World Summit for Social Development in 1995, the poverty reduction strategies championed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), starting in the late 1990s, and the focus on poverty in the Millennium Development Goals. Social security then began to re-emerge as a priority concern, thanks in large part to the engagement of ILO. It launched a global campaign on social security in 2003, followed by the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization in 2004, along with a series of other steps endorsed by the International Labour Conference. |

The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 15 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | While tracing the history of the evolution of the concept of social protection floors through the lens of international organizations is a common approach in the literature, it must be observed that it is both surprisingly ahistorical and gives insufficient weight to the political economy that facilitated the evolution of support for it. It is ahistorical especially to the extent that it underestimates the gradual and cumulative ways in which national initiatives, especially in developing countries, created the conditions in which pioneering national programmes could emerge. Those programmes often ran in very different directions from the policies being advocated by the international community. Since the late 1990s, a diverse range of countries in the global South have developed innovative programmes for social protection, which look very different from the more traditional approaches developed in the North. |

The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 27 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | In an effort to bridge the gap, the Advisory Group urged the Bank to cooperate with ILO and the United Nations on the Social Protection Floor Initiative. The Bank was initially responsive and its major strategy document in 2012 proclaimed an "emerging global consensus" in this area, noting that its "strategy and engagement" were consistent with the "core principles" of the Initiative. Although that was considered to be a significant development, the strategy itself demonstrated rather little substantive engagement with the Initiative. In 2014, the Bank issued the first in what was described as a series of major reports on social safety nets, thus making clear where its future work would continue to focus. The report appeared simultaneously with the new ILO flagship report on social protection floors and, while situating safety nets within what it calls the broader context of social protection, the word "floor" does not appear even once, let alone "social protection floor". |
