International Labour Organization
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the United Nations agency for the world of work. It was founded on the conviction that universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based on social justice. The ILO brings together governments, employers and workers from its 187 member states in a human-centred approach to the future of work based on decent employment creation, rights at work, social protection and social dialogue. The ILO’s tripartite membership drafts, adopts and monitors the implementation of international labour standards on key world of work issues – ILO Conventions and Recommendations. The ILO undertakes research and data collection across the range of world of work topics. It publishes flagship reports and a wide range of publications and working papers. Its globally renowned set of statistical databases are maintained and updated with nationally sourced labour market data. The ILO manages a wide range of development cooperation projects in all regions of the world. Realized in partnership with donor countries and organizations, these projects aim to create the conditions for delivery of the ILO decent work agenda. The ILO has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and field offices in more than 40 countries. The International Labour Conference meets once a year to discuss pressing world of work issues, adopt new international labour standards and approve the ILO’s work plan and budget. The Governing Body, the Organization’s executive council, meets three times a year in Geneva.
