ILO Preparatory Asian
Regional Conference, New Delhi, 27 October – 8 November 1947
The
first Asian Regional Conference brought together delegations from the ILO
Governing Body and from 18 countries and territories. The Conference
adopted 23 resolutions on subjects such as:
- social security and social policy;
- protection of children and young workers;
- employment of women and protection of
maternity;
- labour inspection;
- cooperation between employers and
workers;
- the elimination of forced labour and improved
living conditions for aboriginal tribes and untouchable castes.
The
scope of the agenda, the number and size of the delegations and the range
of conclusions are indicative of the importance of the Conference, which
was held at a time of transition for Asia.
The Conference also gave renewed impetus to ILO’s activities in the region
and thereby strengthened its universality.
