International Labour Organization (ILO)
|
|
|
| |
| Description |
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the United Nations specialized agency that 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. It became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946.
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
- labour law and industrial relations
- labour statistics and occupational safety and health
