International Labour Conference

International Labour Conference

The International Labour Conference is a yearly event, held each June in Geneva, Switzerland, and is hosted by the International Labour Organization. The conference makes decisions on the organization's general policy, work programme, and budget, and creates conventions and recommendations.

Member states are represented at the conference by four delegates: two government delegates, an employer delegate and a worker delegate. All delegates have individual voting rights, and all votes are equal, regardless of the population of the delegate's member state. The employer and worker delegates are normally chosen in agreement with the most representative national organizations of employers and workers. Usually, the worker delegates coordinate their voting, as do the employer delegates.
