	International Labour Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Founded in 1919, it was formed through the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles, and was initially an agency of the League of Nations.
		Historically, one of the functions the ILO has performed has been the establishment of international standards for workers' conditions, which have then become the basis for trade union and other activism in individual countries.
		The ILO has a specialist programme addressing child labour, the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC).

	INTRANET - Welcome to ILO Moscow - EECAT
		The ILO Office in Moscow was established as a dual Area Office and Multidisciplinary Team covering 10 countries [1] of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in January 1998 only.
		ILO Moscow deliberately bases its action on the active partnership policy on the one hand, and on the four strategic objectives of the Organization on the other hand.
		The ILO Office in Moscow has supported the ITC Turin in bidding procedures, and benefited from the help of the Centre in designing its own proposals under BISTRO facilities, etc. It is important to note that similar synergies develop, although on a smaller scale, in most of the countries where the team intervenes.

		The founding countries based the ILO on the independence of the elements in the workplace, the independence of the workers from the government, the independence of the private sector from the government.
		Freeman: The ILO currently has a Minimum Age Convention, which sets the minimum age for work, as it implies, but it is not a convention that is designed to force countries to eliminate child labor.
		The focus of the ILO analysis will be more on what kind of training is required as a result of technological changes, what kinds of training work and what kinds don't, what retraining works and what doesn't.

	Enforcement of Human Rights through ILO Machinery
		Central to the ILO's effort to achieve this goal has been its promotion of the concept of "freedom of association." The idea of freedom of association originally focused on the right of workers to form and join organizations of their own choosing.
		In an effort to ensure ILO member states' adherence to the principle of freedom of association, the ILO's Governing Body in 1950 established special procedures and regulations under which complaints of alleged infringements of this right could be examined regardless of what conventions the violating state had ratified.
		The ILO may not represent the consummate vehicle for promoting and protecting human rights, but U.S. NGOs are likely to find it an effective medium through which to advance their agendas.
