Friends, I was afforded the opportunity to attend the annual ILO conference in Geneva in June, 2008. The ILO is an arm of the United Nations which deals with Labour and employment standards worldwide. Over 100 countries are members and the tripartite is fully represented. Therefore governments, trade unions and employer bodies send delegates and discuss international labour policies for the advancement of workers and employment rights. The experience was exhilarating. To see so many peoples and cultures with differing languages in one place working towards the commn goal of uplifing labour standards and promoting a 'decent work agenda' was to say the least heartwarming. I look forward to more such opportunities as a further my career in this vast area of the law. The highlights are below.... enjoy!
