About the ILO

The International Labour Organization is the UN specialized
agency which seeks the promotion of social justice
and internationally recognized human and labour rights. It 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.
<P>
The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of
Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic
labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize,
collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, 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; labour
administration; labour law and industrial relations; working
conditions; management development; cooperatives; social security;
labour 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 governing organs.
