Committee Introduction:
The International Labor Organization (ILO) is the United Nations branch which deals with everything that has to do with labour worldwide. Its main goal is decent working conditions for everyone. It was set up in 1919, and currently 183 of all 193 UN member states are member of the ILO. The ILO has powers to register complaints when it feels that international rules with regards to labour are being violated; it however cannot impose sanctions on governments.
The ILO is composed of 28 government representatives, 14 workers' representatives, and 14 employers' representatives. Ten of these governmental seats are held by countries that are of great industrial importance. These countries are currently Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. The terms of office are three years.
The ILO is of major significance to the UN, as it is a watchdog and regulator for all the labour across member states. Without such an organisation no universal working condition regulations would be present and corporations as well as governments who have no regards for working conditions would be able to exploit their workers to the fullest.
Each year in June, the ILO organises the International Labour Conference. At this conference conventions and recommendations are crafted and adopted. Each member state has four representatives: two government delegates, an employer delegate and a worker delegate. Each delegate has an individual vote.
