- It is also a forum for discussion of key social and labour questions.
- It takes policy decisions of ILO and establishes the programme and the budget, which it then submits to the Conference for adoption.
- The work of the Governing Body and the Office is aided by tripartite committees covering major industries.
- It is also supported by committees of experts on such matters as vocational training, management development, occupational safety and health, industrial relations, workers’ education, and special problems of women and young workers.
- It is the focal point for ILO’s overall activities, which it prepares under the scrutiny of the Governing Body and under the leadership of the Director-General.
- Regional meetings of the ILO member States are held periodically to examine matters of special interest to the regions concerned.
What are the Functions of the ILO?
- Creation of coordinated policies and programs, directed at solving social and labour issues.
- Adoption of international labour standards in the form of conventions and recommendations and control over their implementation.

- Research and publication of works on social and labour issues.
What are the Objectives of the ILO?
- To promote and realize standards and fundamental principles and rights at work.
- To create greater opportunities for women and men to secure decent employment.
- To enhance the coverage and effectiveness of social protection for all.
- To strengthen tripartism and social dialogue.
What are International Labour Standards?
- The ILO sets international labour standards with conventions, which are ratified by member states. These are non-binding.
- Conventions are drawn up with input from governments, workers’ and employers’ groups at the ILO and are adopted by the International Labour Conference.
- In ratifying an ILO convention, a member state accepts it as a legally binding instrument. Many countries use conventions as a tool to bring national laws in line with international standards.
What is the Decent Work Agenda?
- As part of its mission, the ILO aims to achieve decent work for all by promoting social dialogue, social protection and employment creation, as well as respect for international labour standards.
- The ILO provides technical support to more than 100 countries to help achieve these aims, with the support of development partners.
What is the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work?
- Freedom of Association and The Right to collective bargaining (Conventions 87 and 98)
- Elimination of forced or compulsory labour (Conventions No. 29 and No. 105)
- Abolition of child labour (Conventions No. 138 and No. 182)
- Elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation (Conventions No. 100 and No. 111)
What are the Core Conventions of the ILO?
- The eight fundamental conventions form an integral part of the United Nations Human Rights Framework, and their ratification is an important sign of member States’ commitment to human rights.
- Overall, 135 member States have ratified all eight fundamental conventions. Unfortunately, 48 member states (out of 183 member States), including member states with the highest populations, have yet to complete ratification of all eight conventions.
- Forced Labour Convention (No. 29)
- Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (No.105)
- Equal Remuneration Convention (No.100)

- Worst forms of Child Labour Convention (No.182)
- Freedom of Association and Protection of Right to Organised Convention (No.87)
- Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention (No.98)
- Indeed, they are part and parcel of the overarching architecture for the universality of human rights, offering protection to all, and responding closely to the quest for social justice in a globalized setting.
- They are catalytic to the UN system, the international community and local communities as a whole.
India and ILO: What is the Scenario?
- India is a founding member of the ILO and it has been a permanent member of the ILO Governing Body since 1922.
- In India, the first ILO Office was started in 1928. The decades of productive partnership between the ILO and its constituents has mutual trust and respect as underlying principles and is grounded in building sustained institutional capacities and strengthening capacities of partners.
- The main reason for non-ratification of ILO conventions No.87 & 98 is due to certain restrictions imposed on the government servants.
- The ratification of these conventions would involve granting of certain rights that are prohibited under the statutory rules, for the government employees, namely, the right to strike, to openly criticize government policies, to freely accept a financial contribution, to freely join foreign organizations etc.
What’s the Role of Trade Unions at the ILO?
- Trade unions play a crucial role in developing policy at the ILO, Worker group representation is drawn from national trade union confederations.

- Member states are also required to send reports on the progress of the implementation of the conventions they have ratified.

- Complaints can be filed against member states for not complying with ILO conventions they have ratified.
- Complaints can be from another member state which has signed the same convention, a delegate to the International Labour Conference or the ILO's Governing Body.
