International Labour Organization (ILO)

13.03.2019 The only tripartite U.N. agency, the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States, to set labour standards,for all women and men.

The ILO was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal, lasting peace can be established only if it is based on social justice. The ILO became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946.
