Yes, to Olivier's case e for the Global Fund for Social
protection.
However, the case would even be stronger if it would make full ore better use of already existing political groundswells. It could designate its potential support for low income countries towards introducing or completing their National Social Protection Floors.
National Social Protection Floors as defined by ILO Recommendation No. 202 of June 2012 give explicit contents to the Human Right Social Security and have been accepted as a cornerstone of national SP development strategies by unanimously by ILO members that included the 185 member states, i.e. most UN member states. We should all take this as a manifestation of international political will. And - whether intended or not - as a modest
step in global governance to give effect to the Human Right to social security.
