International Labor Organization

International Labor Organization Outline

The ILO was established in 1919 in Washington. It became a specialized agency of the UN with independent status after the Second World War. The organization has representation from both the governments and trade unions of the member countries, and is a forum for both the governments and labor forces to discuss issues that concern them. Its main function is to study world-wide labor-related problems and set out worldwide labor standards. It recommends solutions to labor-related issues by proposing draft international conventions in this area. A convention recommended or passed by the ILO may bind a state pursuant to the normal treaty process, which means it does not apply to a state unless the state has ratified it. But the conventions passed by the ILO do set out international standards on various labor-related issues and may indirectly affect the domestic law of a country whose government has not ratified the conventions. Its headquarters are in Geneva. It has about 167 members.(1)
