Manual for drafting ILO instruments
The Manual for drafting ILO instruments is a reference guide for all those involved, directly or indirectly, in the process of developing and drafting international labour standards - Conventions and Recommendations.
It is a useful tool for participants to the International Labour Conference,
labour law specialists and researchers, as well as anyone wishing to understand
international labour standards in detail. As a unique drafting guide in the field
of multilateral treaty-making, it is also of interest to legal experts, translators
and others dealing with international institutions.
The Manual, available both in printed and electronic form, explains the drafting
practices of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in its standard-setting
activities. Using examples from ILO records since 1919, the Manual shows how
drafting problems have been resolved and sets out non-binding observations and
recommendations. It covers both the main formal components and certain substantive
aspects of ILO instruments.
The Manual was prepared by the Office of the Legal Adviser of the International
Labour Office and examined by a meeting of a group of experts, nominated
by governments, and
employers' and workers' organizations, in January 2005.
The Manual is available in English, French and Spanish.
