International Labour Organization (ILO), Emblem 50th Anniversary of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Republic of Cyprus

Description

Created in 1919, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is the only surviving major creation of the Treaty of Versailles, which brought into being the League of Nations. In 1946 the ILO became the first specialized agency of the United Nations. The Labour Commission, which wrote the ILO constitution in 1919, was composed of representatives from nine countries namely: Belgium, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, The United Kingdom, and the United States. The very beginning of the Constitution reads: ""Universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice"". The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights such as: freedom of associations, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of treatment and opportunity and standards covering all work related issues. The ILO also provides technical assistance in the fields of: Vocational training and rehabilitation, employment policy, labour law and industrial relations, occupational safety and health, social security, employment policies and other administrative related matters. Furthermore the ILO is the only organization that brings together representatives of governments, employers and workers in its executive bodies. In 1948 the Organization took on its universal character and in 1960 it created the International Institute for Labour Studies at its Geneva headquarters. In 1965 the International Training Centre opened in Turin. In 1969, David Morse, head of the ILO accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Organization. For the period 1999-2002, Cyprus was deputy member of the Governing Council. Today the ILO has 177 member countries.
