6. Preamble Of ILO
Whereas universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice;
And whereas conditions of labour exist involving such injustice, hardship and privation to large numbers of people as to
produce unrest so great that the peace and harmony of the world are imperilled; and an improvement of those conditions is
urgently required; as, for example, by the regulation of the hours of work, including the establishment of a maximum
working day and week, the regulation of the labour supply, the prevention of unemployment, the provision of an adequate
living wage, the protection of the worker against sickness, disease and injury arising out of his employment, the protection
of children, young persons and women, provision for old age and injury, protection of the interests of workers when
employed in countries other than their own, recognition of the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value,
recognition of the principle of freedom of association, the organization of vocational and technical education and other
measures;
Whereas also the failure of any nation to adopt humane conditions of labour is an obstacle in the way of other nations which
desire to improve the conditions in their own countries;

peace of the world, and with a view to attaining the objectives set forth in this Preamble, agree to the following Constitution
