International Labour Organization (ILO) is one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations (U.N) which deals with labour and human rights. It was founded on the assumption that durable world peace cannot be established if it is not based upon social justice. ILO since the last 90 years is working for social justice and thereby contributing to world peace. Today as economic globalization advanced, many considerable benefits and opportunities emerged at one hand, and several disparities and inequalities took place at the same time on the other, the ILO highlighted the need to pay attention to the social dimension of globalization in order to address the prevailing imbalances of growing economic inequalities, to help break the depraved cycle of unemployment and poverty.
