Philosophy
The International Labor Organization (ILO) is the UN specialized agency which
seeks the promotion of social justice and internationally recognized human and
labor rights.
History of Organisation
ILO was founded in 1919 and is the only surviving major creation of the Treaty
of Versailles which brought the League of Nations into being and it became the
first specialized agency of the UN in 1946.
The ILO formulates international labor standards in the form of Conventions
and Recommendtions setting minimum standards of basic labor rights: freedom of
association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced
labor, equality of opportunity and treatment, and other standards regulating conditions
across the entire spectrum of work-related issues. It provides technical assistance
primarily in the fields of vocational training and vocational rehabilitation;
employment policy; labor administration; labor law and industrial relations; working
conditions; management development; cooperatives; social security; labor statistics
and occupational safety and health. It promotes the development of independent
employers' and workers' organizations and provides training and advisory services
to those organizations. Within the UN system, the ILO has a unique tripartite
structure with workers and employers participating as equal partners with governments
in the work of its government organs.
