	International Labour Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	International Labour Conference
		First, there is the crafting and adoption of international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations.
		Conventions are international treaties that, once adopted by the Conference, are open to ratification by member States.
		It examines the reports which the governments of all member States are required to submit, detailing their compliance with obligations arising out of ratified Conventions, and their law and practice in respect of Conventions and Recommendations (ratified or not) on which reports have been requested by the Governing Body of the ILO.

		The new international environment calls for new priorities and a concentrated ILO effort to renew the combination of research and action in critical areas for the future development of employment policy, with full employment as the goal.
		Labour market reform may be an important complement to macroeconomic policy, by changing incentives, by reducing the impact of adjustment on poverty or inflation, and by providing institutions for dialogue and protection which offer legitimacy and resilience.
		Labour institutions in many developing countries have been too weak to cope either with the social consequences of crises or more generally with the effects of integration into the global economy.

	INTERNATIONAL LABOUR'S Y2K PROBLEM: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is widely recognised within and around the labour movement that labour (as wage work, as class identity, in the trade union form, as a partner in industrial relations, as a radical-democratic social movement, as a part of civil society) is in profound crisis.
		Despite its electronic form, its international accessibility, and its apparent openness, my impression is that this is a dialogue imprisoned by the history of its two sponsors and their joint interest in preserving or restoring their past centrality to the world of international labour relations.
		International trade unionism, once again, has to either surpass its reductionist self-definition or remain invisible in the international media arena, which is increasingly challenging and even replacing the institutional ones as the central site of democratic contestation and deliberation.

	Bahai News - THE 86TH INTERNATIONAL LABOUR CONFERENCE
		The important standard-setting function of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) is embodied in its set of Conventions and Recommendations, international instruments open to ratification by member states of the ILO which regulate some aspect of labour, social welfare or human rights.
		Amnesty International had welcomed the campaign, launched by the ILO's Director General in May 1995, to achieve universal ratification of the seven core Conventions, but notes that as of March this year only 35 members of the ILO had taken the step of ratifying all seven of these instruments.
		Amnesty International is concerned about continuing impunity in past cases of human rights violations against indigenous people, and about the failure of the Brazilian authorities to investigate these cases thoroughly and to bring those responsible to justice.

	International Labour Conference:
		Today the Committee on the Application of Standards of the International Labour Conference held its third special sitting on forced labour in Burma/Myanmar.
		The Burmese Ambassador said that these "political" events were extraneous to the main subject of the meeting, which was forced labour.
		Most speakers, however, did not agree, called for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi and her colleagues, and many argued that it would be difficult to carry out the Plan of Action under present conditions.

		An immediate task presented to the ILO by the first International Labour Conference, held in Washington in 1919, was the creation of a "list" of hazardous conditions and substances that could be found in the workplace.
		A similar situation prevails in government where a variety of agencies are involved in regulation and inspection of the workplace and in the basic research carried out to understand better the effects of workplace hazards and how to prevent them.
		Similarly, international organizations have departments which deal with health and safety as a "labour administration problem" and others that treat it as a medical and engineering problem.
