 The International Labour Organization is a United Nations agency. United Nations is also known as UN. The goal of the ILO is to advance social and economic justice by setting international labour standards. Now question arises as to what is justice. Justice is giving every man what is due to him as per law. ILO wants to make international standards and it wants to implement and enforce them globally so that justice can be administered to the labourers. ILO is the agency of United Nations or its 187 member states and ILO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. ILO has my dear students about 40 field offices around the world. The standards upheld by the ILO are broadly intended to ensure accessible, productive and sustainable work worldwide in conditions of freedom, equity, security and dignity. These are very laudable values and the values are freedom, equity, security and dignity. Freedom means the absence of oppression and the absence of undue influence. Equity se murad hai as per the conscience of the society. It means as per the sense of right and wrong. Dignity means that everybody is respectable. Dear students, this very ILO was founded in 1919 under the League of Nations and incorporated into the UN as a specialised agency in 1946. My dear students, you will be delighted to know that the ILO is the first and the oldest specialised agency of UN and its goals is to serve as a uniting force between governments, businesses and workers. The ILO emphasises the need for workers to enjoy conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity through their employment. My dear students, the ILO promotes labour standards in Africa, Latin America, the Arab states, Asia and the Pacific and Europe and Central Asia. The organisation provides training on fair employment standards, provides technical cooperation for projects in partner countries, analyses labour statistics and publishes related research and regularly holds events and conferences to examine critical social and labour issues. Dear students, the ILO works for peace among nations, pursuing decent work and justice for workers and providing technical assistance to other developing nations. Hope you have understood the topic. Thank you very much indeed.
