- The different ILO bodies, the functioning of the Conference, and the adoption and
application of international labour standards are governed by the Constitution. The
original ILO Constitution formed Part XIII of the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Since that
date it has been amended on six occasions, and has become a separate instrument. In
1944, the Conference adopted the Declaration of Philadelphia, which restated the
fundamental aims and purposes of the ILO. The Declaration is annexed to and forms an
integral part of the Constitution.
How to use:
- The Constitution of the ILO consists of a Preamble, 40 articles, an Appendix - "The
Declaration of Philadelphia", and a subject index.
- If you know the article you wish to display, you should select the "browse the Index" option from the Constitution search form. Otherwise you may search for words or phrases using the full text option, from the same panel.
