ILO processes
The International Labour Organization (ILO), is a specialized United Nations agency, with a unique tripartite governance structure, bringing together governments, and employers’ and workers’ organisations. The ILO sets international labour standards, promotes rights at work and encourages decent work by promoting job creation, social protection and social dialogue on work-related issues. Among international organizations, the ILO holds a special place in the promotion of fair globalization. In this context cross-border social dialogue plays a key role in operationalizing dedicated instruments, such as the MNE Declaration, but also in the conduct of sectoral meetings and committees.
