History of the organization:
The International Labor Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency of the League of Nations and, after World War II, the United Nations (UN), founded in 1919 by the governments of nine countries (Belgium, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States) to promote international cooperation in securing world peace and reducing social injustice through the improvement of working conditions. The ILO is a unique tripartite organization that brings together representatives of governments, workers’ organizations and employers to jointly develop policies and programs.
