The status of Palestine in the ILO and its participation rights in ILO meetings

At the request of the Governing Body at its 351st Session (June 2024) further to the adoption of resolution ES-10/23 by the United Nations General Assembly, the Office has prepared an analysis of the status of Palestine in the ILO and the participation rights of Palestine in ILO meetings. The Governing Body is invited to take decisions on two interrelated yet distinct matters: (i) Palestine’s current status as a liberation movement and its possible elevation to that of a non-member State entity; (ii) the scope of the participation rights of Palestine in ILO meetings in light of the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly (see the draft decision in paragraph 68).
