ILO and its background

-
BACKGROUND:- The ILO was established as an agency of the league of nations following the treaty of Versailles which ended world war 1. It was established in 1919. In 1919 a pioneering generation of scholar, social policy experts and politicians designed an unprecedented international organizational framework for labor politics. The core members all knew one another from earlier private, professional and ideological network, in which they exchanged knowledge, experiences and ideas as social policy. Prewar, International association for labor legislation (IALL) and political networks such as The socialist Second International were a decisive factor in the institutionalization of international labor politics. In the post world war 1 euphoria, the idea of make able society was an important catalyst behind the social engineering of the ILO architects.
GOVERNANCE:- The international labor office in Geneva is the permanent secretariat of ILO. Administration and  management are decentralized in regional area and branch office in more than 40 office. The International labor council meets annually. the governing body decides the agenda of the International labor conference, adopts the draft program, elects the director general etc. The guiding body is composed of 28 government representative, 14 worker's representative and 14 employer's representative.Unlike other United nations specialized agency, ILO has a tripartite governing structure-- representing government, employers and workers with a ratio of 2:1:1.
                   Through July 2011, the ILO has adopted 189 conventions. In 1998 the ILC adopted a declaration containing four fundamental policies:-
1) The right of workers to associate freely and bargain collectively.
2) The end of force and compulsory labor.
3) The end of child labor.
4) the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
