creates path for implementation of labour laws in an industry or company. It is an specialized
agency which is formed by United Nations. It deals with identification of labour rights and
uplifts social justice. These organisation is important to seek smoother and better environment

Standards of these organisations are that legal instruments which are there to cover
matters for basic rights of workers, its conditions, wages to be paid and security of job comes

international level. These are formed after attaining two-third majority of votes and its
