Ten binding treaties of the International Labour Organization held together in one record: the eight conventions named as fundamental by the ILO's 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, plus two governance conventions on occupational safety and health. Between them they cover forced labour, freedom of association and collective bargaining, equal pay for work of equal value, discrimination in employment and occupation, the minimum age for work, the worst forms of child labour, and national policy on safety at work. The ILO is a UN specialised agency with a tripartite structure in which governments, employers' organisations and workers' organisations each hold a voting voice, and the eight fundamental conventions are considered binding in principle on all 187 member states whether or not each has been individually ratified.
