The International Labour Organisation (ILO) is a third-party organisation for labour market issues, where workers, employers and authorities meet. The ILO was founded in 1919 and became a part of the UN in 1946. The organisation counts 185 member countries. Its aim is to “promote social justice and internationally recognised human and labour market rights.”
The ILO headquarters are in Geneva. In October 2012 British Guy Ryder became the organisation’s new Director General. His background includes international trade union work.
