International Labor Organization

The International Labor Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that aims to promote social justice and fair labor practices worldwide. Founded in 1919, it sets international labor standards, develops policies to improve working conditions, and promotes rights at work. The ILO brings together governments, employers, and workers' representatives from various countries to discuss labor issues and create agreements. Its work focuses on ensuring decent work opportunities, enhancing job security, and advocating for rights such as the freedom to join unions. The ILO seeks to reduce poverty and improve living standards globally through fair labor practices.
