The International Labour Organization (ILO) was established by the United Nations in 1919, with the aim to bring together governments, employers and workers, and to define labor standards for all workers globally. The ILO stands behind the key international labor rights legislation, policies and standards, underpinned by eight fundamental conventions: Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention (1948); Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention (1949); Forced Labour Convention, (1930), Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (1957), Minimum Age Convention (1973), Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (1999), Equal Remuneration Convention (1951); Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention (1958).(1)
