Governing Body of International Labour Organisation (ILO)

  • IT is the apex executive body of the ILO which decides policies, programmes, agenda, budget and elects the Director-General.
  • Shri Apurva Chandra, Secretary (Labour and Employment) has been elected as the Chairperson of the Governing Body of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) for the period October 2020- June 2021.

  • Ten of the titular government seats are permanently held by States of chief industrial importance (Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States). 
  • The other Government members are elected by the Conference every three years (the last elections were held in June 2014). 
  • The Employer and Worker members are elected in their individual capacity. 

A brief note on ILO

  • ILO is UN specialized agency
  • It is headquartered in Geneva 
  • The Constitution of the ILO  was drafted in early 1919 by the Labour Commission, chaired by Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labour (AFL) in the United States.
