International Labor Organization (ILO)

1. Created in 1919, as part of theTreaty of Versailles that ended World War I, to reflect
the belief that universal and lasting peace can be accomplished only if it is based on
social justice.
The Constitution of the ILO was drafted in early 1919, composed of representatives
from nine countries: Belgium, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Japan, Poland,
the United Kingdom and the United States.
The driving forces for the ILO's creation arose from security, humanitarian, political
and economic considerations. The founders of the ILO recognized the importance of
social justice in securing peace, against a background of the exploitation of workers
in the industrializing nations of that time. There was also an increasing understanding
of the world's economic interdependence and the need for cooperation to obtain
similarity of working conditions in countries competing for markets.
The Organization has played a role at key historical junctures – the Great
Depression, decolonization, the creation of Solidarność in Poland, the victory over
apartheid in South Africa – and today in the building of an ethical and productive
framework for a fair globalization.

3. The results and achievements of the ILO are financed through three main funding
sources:
the Regular Budget, funded from assessed contributions by member States, based
on the scale of assessments of the United Nations;
the Regular Budget Supplementary Account, funded by voluntary core contributions
from key resource partners that provide fully unearmarked resources; and
Extra-Budgetary Technical Cooperation resources, funded by voluntary non-core
contributions from over 100 different resource partners, including public and private
organizations, IFIs and UN entities, in support of specific projects.
The close integration of the different budgetary resources available to the ILO to
deliver an integrated results framework is central to its strategy to deliver successfully
on priorities in countries, regionally and globally through outcome-based work plans.

The operational budget of the ILO is composed of the following four parts:
Part I: “Ordinary budget”, on major functions and resources of ILO programmes and
on other budgetary provisions
Part II: “Unforeseen expenditure”
Part III: “Working Capital Fund”;
Part IV: “Institutional investments and extraordinary items”

what's its purpose

● Among its main areas of activity are:

● Promote respect for basic labor principles.
● The eradication of child labor.
● Supervision of labor regulations and compliance with the Agreements.
● The development of technical cooperation programs.
● Labor migration.
● Analyze the social dimension of Globalization.

Program and budget

The Program and Budget adopts both the work plan and the budget based on the
priorities identified in the Strategic Plan; it describes what the ILO intends to
accomplish and achieve in the biennium, specifies the strategies to achieve
measurable results and the capacities and resources required to achieve these
results, authorizing the relevant regular budget expenditures. The ILO's biennial work
program is implemented in member states primarily through Decent Work Country
Programs (DWCPs), aligned with national development plans and United Nations
planning frameworks.

The results and achievements of the ILO are achieved through three main sources of
funding:
the Regular Budget, made up of the assessed contributions of the Member States,
based on the United Nations scale;
the Supplementary Account of the Regular Budget, financed by voluntary
contributions from main partners that provide totally decoupled resources; Y
Extra-budgetary Technical Cooperation Resources, financed through voluntary
contributions to specific projects from more than 100 public and private
organizations, international financial institutions and United Nations entities.
Combining the different budgetary resources available in results-based work plans is
essential for the ILO to develop its strategies in an integrated way, thus managing to
respond successfully to the priorities of countries, regions and the world.
