The ILO(International Labour Organization) was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal, lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon decent treatment of working people. The ILO became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946. The Organization is devoted to advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security, and human dignity. Its main aims are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue in handling work-related issues. 6, record 2, English, - International%20Labour%20Organization

"ILO is indeed called the International Labour (with "u") Organization (with "z") in English. ILO could also refer to the Secretariat which is the International Labour Office. The use of the current spelling, i.e., Organization, began in October 1992 at which time an internal circular was issued. It should be noted that "Organisation" remains the preferred spelling found in the titles of any instruments, e.g. conventions, recommendations, etc., adopted by the International Labour Conference before that date, including the Constitution which was established in 1919 and last amended in 1974. (The 1994 edition of the Constitution was incorrectly issued as "Constitution of the International Labour Organization". The error was corrected in the February 1998 edition)." 7, record 2, English, - International%20Labour%20Organization
