International Labour Organization
The ILO is the international organization responsible for drawing up and overseeing international labour standards. It is the only 'tripartite' United Nations agency that brings together representatives of governments, employers and workers to jointly shape policies and programmes promoting Decent Work for all.
IDA is a member of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network which brings together multinational enterprises and national employer unions to improve the employment of persons with disabilities.
News!!
The International Labour Organisation is currently working on Recommendation on a Social Protection Floor that will be negotiated in June 2012 at the International Labour Conference. This Recommendation should encourage countries to sign up to a minimum level of protection, to increase the number of persons covered as well as the level of coverage. It is important that the Recommendation include persons with disabilities, and in a way that is consistent with the CRPD. Accordingly, the International Disability Alliance has prepared a position paper indicating some key points we would like to see addressed by this Recommendation.
