It is the third-oldest pre-existing UN agency, the fourth-oldest existing multilateral organization, and the only remaining organization with direct links to the League of Nations. The ILO started with 42 member states, of which 29 are considered founder members as signatories to the Treaty of Versailles; another 13 states, not signatories, were invited to be members and granted status as founder members.
