International Labour Organisation (ILO) - UN
International Organisations
The ILO was founded in 1919 to work for the betterment of people in their place of work under conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. It is the only ‘tripartite’ UN agency in that it brings together representatives of governments, employers and workers to jointly shape policies and programmes. It organised numerous conferences on South Africa and apartheid and was active on boycott issues workers’ rights. The organisation holds its own archives.
