International Labour Organization
(Visit International's Website)
As the world's only tripartite
multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated
to bringing decent work and livelihoods,
job-related security and better living
standards to the people of both poor and
rich countries. It helps to attain those
goals by promoting rights at work,
encouraging opportunities for decent
employment, enhancing social protection
and strengthening dialogue on work-related
issues.
The ILO is the international meeting place
for the world of work. We are the experts
on work and employment and particularly on
the critical role that these issues play
in bringing about economic development and
progress. At the heart of our mission is
helping countries build the institutions
that are the bulwarks of democracy and to
help them become accountable to the
people.
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 addressing
conditions across the entire spectrum of
work-related issues.
