The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations dealing with social issues. It is characterized by tripartism: representatives of governments, employers' organizations and workers' organizations take part in ILO decision making.
As of 13 January 1992 it had 153 member states. One of the primary functions of the ILO is the establishment of international legal instruments, like conventions and recommendations, dealing with inter alia human rights, occupational health and safety, social security conditions of work, and child labour. The whole body of international legal instruments are referred to as the international labour standards or Code. the ILO is also responsible for the supervision of compliance with these standards and carries out this task via committees.
