Advancing Justice, Protecting People and Promoting Decent Work
Mission and Impact of the ILO Advancing justice, Promoting jobs, Protecting people
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is devoted to promoting social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights, pursuing its founding mission that social justice is essential to universal and lasting peace.
Only tripartite U.N. agency, the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers representatives of 187 member States, to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men.
Today, the ILO’s Decent Work agenda helps advance the economic and working conditions that give all workers, employers and governments a stake in lasting peace, prosperity and progress.
TRANSPARENCY
The IMF has policies in place to ensure that meaningful and accurate information—both about its own role in the global economy and the economies of its member countries—is provided in real time to its global audiences.
COUNTRY REPRESENTATION
Unlike the General Assembly of the United Nations, where each country has one vote, decision making at the IMF was designed to reflect the relative positions of its member countries in the global economy. The IMF continues to undertake reforms to ensure that its governance structure adequately reflects fundamental changes taking place in the world economy.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Created in 1919, the ILO is governed and Funded by IMF & UN; and accountable to the 187 countries that make up its near-global membership. Decision making at the ILO was designed to reflect the relative positions of its member countries in the global economy.
