The International Labour Organisation (ILO) is a UN agency established in 1919 to address labour issues. It has 187 member states and brings together governments, employers, and workers. The ILO adopts international labour standards to establish minimum protections from exploitative labour practices. These standards take the form of Conventions, which are legally binding, and Recommendations, which provide guidelines. Member states must submit ratified Conventions to their authorities for consideration. The ILO has numerous agreements covering issues like freedom of association, child labour, equality, wages, safety, and standards for specific industries and jobs.
