International Labor Organization

Definition

The International Labor Organization is a United Nations agency setting international labor standards and promoting workers' rights. In government contracting, ILO references appear in labor clauses addressing child labor, forced labor, and workplace standards for international supply chains.

ILO standards influence contractor compliance requirements for products manufactured overseas. Understanding ILO-related requirements helps contractors ensure supply chain compliance. FAR clauses may reference ILO conventions regarding prohibited labor practices in federal supply chains.
