 | | These have all been ratified by a majority of the member states, and are known as the international labour standards. | | | Historically, one of the functions the ILO has performed has been the establishment of international standards for workers' conditions, which have then become the basis for trade union and other activism in individual countries. | | | Every year, the International Labour Conference's Committee on the Application of Standards examine a number of suspected breaches of ILO labour standards. |

| | And the ILO must consider one of its most important tasks in the coming years to be the promotion of policies to eliminate discrimination in all its forms, and to ensure a decent standard of living for all the inhabitants of the developed nations. | | | The ILO's constitution provides that each member state shall send to the International Labor Conference a delegation consisting of two government delegates and two delegates representing respectively the employers and workers, each of whom is entitled to vote individually and independently of each other. | | | These standards which are adopted by the International Labor Conference - that is, by the entire membership of the ILO - take the form of Conventions (which are open to ratification by governments) and Recommendations (which create no formal obligation for governments, but which are intended to guide their social policies). |

| | The ILO was created in 1919 primarily for the purpose of adopting international standards to cope with the problem of labor conditions involving "injustice, hardship, and privation". | | | International labor standards are essentially expressions of international tripartite agreement on these matters. | | | Child labourers have been recognized as a specific category of beneficiaries to be dealt with for the first time in Romanian legislation within The National Strategy on Child Protection (2001-2004) and the Operational Plan for Implementation approved by the Government (Decision 539/2001). |
