ABOUT THE ILO
Established in 1919, and since 1946 a specialized agency of the United Nations Organization, the International
Labour Organization (ILO) has focused on workplace issues, actively seeking to create decent work for all – work
which is freely chosen and performed in an environment of equity and human dignity. While promoting individual and
collective rights at work, social protection and occupational safety and health, the ILO encourages social dialogue
and supports an open and constructive industrial relations policy between governments, employers and workers.
