ABSTRACT

Intergovernmental organizations are relationships and/or organizations created by treaties, charters, or other formal agreements between two or more nations to work towards a common goal or interest. The main purpose of intergovernmental projects and agreements is typically to address a common set of economic or social problems. The International Labor Organization (ILO) was founded in 1919, as part of a peace settlement in the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. The Occupational Safety and Health Convention C155 was adopted by the ILO in 1981 and put into force in 1983. It applies to all environments and workplaces of economic activity and public service and covers all employed persons. One of the most important administrative activities of the ILO is the supervision of standards implementation. The World Health Organization was created on April 7, 1948. The primary role is to promote international health through the United Nations network.
