Governing Body

The Governing Body is the executive body of the International Labour Office (the Office is the secretariat of the Organization). It meets three times a year, in March, June and November. It takes decisions on ILO policy, decides the agenda of the International Labour Conference, adopts the draft Programme and Budget of the Organization for submission to the Conference, and elects the Director-General.

The Governing Body website has been redesigned to reflect the new structure of the Governing Body as established by the reform adopted in its 310th (March 2011) and 311th (June 2011) Sessions.
