Bureau international du travail

The Bureau International du Travail (BIT), or International Labour Organization (ILO), is a United Nations agency dedicated to promoting fair and safe working conditions worldwide. It brings together governments, employers, and workers to develop policies, standards, and programs that support decent work, rights, and social protection. Founded in 1919, its goal is to improve employment opportunities, encourage dialogue among stakeholders, and advance social justice globally. The ILO conducts research, provides technical assistance, and helps countries adopt laws and practices that promote fair treatment and economic growth through decent employment.
