Extractions: Sue Luzy, Senior Librarian, International Labour Office THE INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION The International Labour Organization (ILO) was created in 1919 at the end of the First World War, the need for such an organization having first been advocated in the 19th century by two industrial ists, Robert Owen of England and Daniel Legrand of France. In 1994, the ILO celebrated its 75th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Philadelphia which launched the organizatio n into a new era of action for the welfare of working people after the Second World War. The Declaration anticipated and set a pattern for the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Right s, and in 1946 the ILO became the first agency associated with the UN. The ILO is the only UN agency with a tripartite structure, where governments, employers' and workers' organizations from 171 member States are represented at all levels. The International Labour Of fice is the Organization's permanent secretariat, employing some 1,900 officials of over 110 nationalities in its Geneva headquarters and 40 field offices worldwide, plus 600 experts engaged in techn ical co-operation projects. The Office also constitutes a research and documentation centre and a publishing house issuing a broad range of specialized studies and reports.

International Labour Organization - Child Labor international labour organization Child Labor. By Jagdish Parikh, for ILO/BIT, 11 February 1997. The combat against child labour http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/26/007.html
Extractions: Forwarded Message Follows: Date: Sun, 9 Feb 1997 22:58:27 -0500 The combat against child labour has been a priority for the International Labour Organization (ILO) since its inception in 1919. Twelve international labour Conventions have been adopted by ILO member States which have a direct bearing on child labour. Since the early nineties the ILO has mounted a major offensive against it through its International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) by assisting member States in carrying out operational activities to solve child labour problems. The ILO and Child Labour gives a brief introduction of the aims of the ILO. The brief on the ILO's International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) provides factual information on the programme's aims, priority target groups, strategy, partner organizations and geographical coverage.
Extractions: Volume 14, Issue 4 / January-March 2003 TURIN, Italy Eighty percent of the automobiles made in Italy are manufactured in this bustling northern Piedmont city. Home of the Fiat Group, workers here build Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo cars, as well as Iveco trucks. Turin is also the home of the International Training Centre (ITC), an arm of the UN's International Labour Organization (ILO). The ITC seeks to "assemble, package and deliver the best thinking, practice, and experience at global level concerning issues related to the world of work." Over the last few years, a major concern at the Centre, as well as of workers and industrialists in Turin and, indeed, in Europe as a whole has been how to "restructure" businesses in a way that causes the least harm to owners, employees, and communities. Restructuring often means laying off workers in the search for greater efficiency. Global competition has put pressure on companies like Fiat to improve productivity and profits. Late last year, for example, Fiat proposed laying off some 8,100 workers in just such a restructuring plan, a move that was met with strikes and protests here. In the search for answers, the ILO has chosen to collaborate with the European Bahá'í Business Forum (EBBF), a private voluntary association that promotes, among other things, the application of spiritual principles to economic problems.

Extractions: (ILO), specialized agency of the United Nations whose aim is to facilitate the improvement of conditions of labour and living standards throughout the world. The ILO was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1969 in recognition of its activities. The ILO was created after World War I in 1919 by the Treaty of Versailles as an affiliated agency of the League of Nations. After the United Nations was established during World War II, the ILO became the first specialized agency to be affiliated with it, in 1946. The functions of the ILO include the development and promotion of standards for national legislation to protect and improve conditions of work and standards of living. It provides technical assistance in social policy and administration and in workforce training and fosters cooperative organizations and rural industries. It compiles labour statistics and conducts research on the social problems of international competition, unemployment and underemployment, labour and industrial relations, and technological change (including automation). It is concerned with the protection of international migrants and the safeguarding of trade-union rights.

The ILO's Conventions are international treaties, subject to ratification by ILO Member States. Its Recommendations are non-binding instruments typically dealing with the same subjects as Conventions which set out guidelines, which can orient national policy and action. Both forms are intended to have a concrete impact on working conditions and practices in every country of the world. The ILO has adopted more than 180 Conventions and 190 Recommendations covering a broad range of subjects. Eight Conventions are considered fundamental to the rights of human beings at work, and have been implemented and ratified by the majority of the organization's Member States. Another four Conventions concerning matters of essential importance to labor institutions and policy are considered Priority Conventions The remaining instruments, spanning a broad range of subjects, have been classified into some 12 categories of

Extractions: By ratifying ILO Convention No. 182, the countries commit themselves to take immediate action to prohibit and eliminate the worst forms of child labour. This Convention is enjoying the fastest pace of ratifications in the ILO's history since 1919. In parallel, ILO Convention No.138, setting forth a larger framework for the longer-term objective of the effective abolition of child labour, has also been receiving a surge in ratifications. The increase in ratification of these Conventions clearly demonstrates that support for the movement against child labour is growing very rapidly throughout the world.
Extractions: IOM Member and Observer States gathered in Geneva for the Eighty-Seventh Special Session of the IOM Council today elected by acclamation the Deputy Director General, Ndioro Ndiaye for a second five-year term. Mrs. Ndiaye said she intends to focus her future efforts as IOM Deputy Director General on continuing to raise awareness on the positive aspects of migration. "This calls for strategies that aim at poverty reduction. As part of this goal, IOM is already helping migrants make their skills available to further the development of their countries of origin. We must also encourage migrants to invest some of their remittances into public and private projects that generate employment." More information
