OK, first I'd like to apologise for incorrectly moving the page, I'm still a relative wikipedia newbie, and I overlooked the move function. However, shouldn't this article be at International Labour Organization, since that is the official name of the organisation? This is not a quibble over american/commonwealth spellings of words. Darksun 19:37, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I moved the page here from the International Labor Organization page, and made that into a redirect. Now, usually, I'll leave American spellings alone, however, the correct name of the organisation is the 'International Labour Organization', so that should be the main article title. Interestingly, the ILO uses the commonwealth spelling for Labour and US spelling for Organization. Darksun 17:17, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi, not sure if the info here is true. Perhaps I'm just ignorant. Did the US really reject the 1998 declaration? Trying to find more info. (-EDR) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.31.53.57 (talk • contribs) .

General Wikipedia style is that the first paragraph or two that serves as the article's introduction should also serve as a brief overview of the subject. Why is there a separate "in brief" sidebar at the right? It's mostly redundant, and in the parts where it's not, either they should be added to the intro, or shouldn't be up front. The blue also looks very odd. --Delirium 06:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
The article states that "Its secretariat is known as the International Labour Office" - I have no idea what this means and following the links on secretariat doesn't help. Can someone clarify this? Egret (talk) 17:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I used to work for the ILO. I am quite familiar with its gobbledygook. I hope to edit this article so it is understandable, simple and accurate. I hope you will join me in this endeavor. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 07:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
The page was attacked by a vandal, who wrote the word penis in capitals about 7,000 times over. I removed the spam, but the vandal had completely destroyed the "Goals" section. I hope somebody will be able to replace it correctly. If I've done something wrong I apologise, I'm only passing through. Huw Dawson (talk) 20:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
What is the total annual budget of the ILO? That factoid seems pretty basic to include here. Most other UN bodies have it listed. I've seen widely varying numbers on the web; can't find it on the ILO's own page. Tks. [Special:Contributions/195.229.241.173|195.229.241.173]] (talk) 04:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
This account is far too long on the background. It then suddenly jumps from 1919 to 1946, beginning of LoN to its demise, without a word of what the ILO did before and during WW2. And hardly a mention of the people involved. Can we start by pruning back somewhat on the 'genesis'? RashersTierney (talk) 01:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone have a source for this claim: "Over the course of World War I, the international labor movement proposed a comprehensive program of protection for the working classes, conceived as compensation for labor's support of the war" (i.e. that it was due to a discourse of compensation for war support)? There is a reference to an academic paper at the end of the paragraph (which is behind a paywall), but it is not clear which points the reference is meant to back up. - X —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.23.7 (talk) 11:38, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
There are just too many official links. Unless there is objection, I will winnow and sift these links down to just a few. See Wikipedia:NOTLINKS#LINK. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:48, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
So many big headers... so many big headers with small paragraphs underneath. (E.g. "Training and teaching units"... Can we consolidate some (governing body, conventions, recommendations, conference) under "Structure"? Maybe some under "Policy?" "Programs?" I am not an expert... I just think the page looks messy. love, groupuscule (talk) 06:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
'United Nations' is a name, not a description. 'International Business Machines' is another example of a name (as opposed to a description). The expression 'the United Nations' is therefore confused language, like it also would be mistaken to refer to IBM as 'the International Business Machines'.
It would improve the language of this article if United Nations were properly referred to by using its name as just that, a name. That is to say one should refer to UN as simply 'United Nations', and avoid referring to it as 'the United Nations'. Of course this also applies to 'International Labour Organization' (a name, not a description). --62.16.186.44 (talk) 03:06, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
In some sources, the English spelling is used (International Labour Organisation), in other sources (e.g. Lowe, 1921 & Shotwell, 1934) the American spelling is used (International Labor Organization) and sometimes it is a mix of both English and American (International Labour Organization).
On the ILO's website it is spelled International Labour Organization. But in the first reports and minutes of the governing body, the organisation's name was spelled 'International Labour Organisation' (see for example, http://www.ilo.org/public/libdoc/ilo/P/09602/09602(1921-1-1)23-40.pdf

I am a student enrolled in a class with the goal of updating a wikipedia page, I will be looking to add a section to the tab titled "Issues" on the ILO's work against sex and human trafficking.
