International Labour Organization (ILO)
Established in 1919, and since 1946 a member of the
United Nations Organization, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has
focused on workplace issues, actively seeking to create decent work for all -
work which is freely chosen and performed in an environment of equity, security
and human dignity.
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.
