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).
