Member states of the International Labour Organization
The International Labour Organization (ILO), a specialized agency of the United Nations that sets international standards related to work, presently has 187 member states. Created in 1919 as a result of the Versailles Treaty, the ILO is the fourth[a] oldest existing multilateral organization and the only remaining organization with direct links to the League of Nations.
The ILO was founded 1919 with 42 member states. Of these, 29 states were signatories to the Versailles Treaty and are considered founder members, another 13 states, not signatories, were invited to be members and granted status as founder members.[1]
Following the Second World War and the dissolution of the League of Nations, the ILO became the UN's first specialized agency. At present, all member states of the ILO are also member states of the United Nations, however there are seven UN member states which are not members of the ILO. The ILO's rules allow admission without membership in the UN, but the conditions to be satisfied in this case are more complex than for a UN member state.
Since establishment, 20 states have withdrawn from membership, although all were subsequently readmitted. Two states have indicated an intention to withdraw, but did not complete the process. While the membership rules admit only sovereign states, on three occasions states with non-sovereign status have been admitted, all, however, eventually became sovereign members. Six formerly-existing states have been members of the ILO, including two which were founding members.

Member withdrawals[]
According to the ILO's constitution, a member state may only withdraw after giving notice of two years and settling all outstanding financial dues; following withdrawal a former member state is still obliged to comply with the ILO conventions the country has ratified.[35][36] Readmission of a former member state, that has remained a UN member, requires formal communication to the ILO Director-General of acceptance of the obligations of the ILO constitution. A former member state that is not a UN member can only be approved for readmission by a decision of the International Labour Conference.[37] Since 1927, 20 member states have withdrawn from the ILO, all subsequently were readmitted.
Flag | State | Date of withdrawal | Date of readmission | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Albania | 5 August 1967[38][39] | 22 May 1991[40] | In 1965, Albania gave notification of withdrawal from the ILO, citing the organisation's lack of support to anti-colonial liberation movements and exclusion of communist countries.[41] Following the end of the Cold War, Albania was readmitted. | |
Austria | 13 March 1938[10] | 24 June 1947[42] | Following the Anschluss on 12 March 1938, Austria was removed from membership of the ILO.[43] In July 1947 the International Labour Conference confirmed Austria's readmission to the ILO.[44][45] | |
Costa Rica | 1 January 1927[46] | 21 April 1944[47] | In December 1924, Costa Rica gave notice of withdrawal from the League of Nations due to perceived ill-treatment for overdue membership contributions and dissatisfaction with the League's lack of action against the United States for pursuing the Monroe Doctrine.[48] Withdrawal from the League precipitated Costa Rica's withdrawal from the ILO. Starting in 1942, engagement with the ILO led to readmission in 1944.[46] | |
El Salvador | 1939[10] | 21 June 1948[49] | ||
Ethiopia | 1939 | 1943 | Following the annexation of Ethiopia by Italy, the country was removed from the membership list of the ILO between 1939 and 1942,[50] however, the country is still considered to have held membership since first joining on 28 September 1923.[51] | |
Germany | 21 October 1935[52] | 12 June 1951[53] | ||
Guatemala | 26 May 1938[54] | 19 October 1945[55] | ||
Italy | 1939[56] | 19 October 1945[57] | ||
Honduras | 10 July 1938[54] | 1 January 1955[58] | ||
Japan | November 1940[59] | 26 November 1951[60] | Starting with the Mukden Incident, Japan came under increasing criticism and condemnation in the League of Nations, eventually leading to withdrawal from the League in 1933.[61][62] Although maintaining ILO membership, contradictions between government policy, a reversal of positive attitudes of the employers and the broader international deterioration of inter-state relations led to Japan giving notice of withdrawal in November 1938.[63] Following the Second World War, in March 1948 an ILO Committee in Japan was established and in 1951 the country was readmitted.[64] | |
Lesotho | 15 July 1971[65] | 2 June 1980[19] | Between 1971 and 1980, Lesotho withdrew from the ILO due to an inability to meet the financial obligations of membership.[66] | |
Nicaragua | 26 June 1938[54] | 9 April 1957[67] | ||
Paraguay | 1937[21] | 5 September 1956[22] | ||

Spain | 1941[10] | 28 May 1956[70] | ||
Soviet Union | February 1940[71] | 26 April 1954[72] | The Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations in December 1939 following the start of the Winter War.[73] However, this expulsion did not automatically invalidate membership in the ILO; not until the meeting of the ILO Administrative Council in February the following year was the membership rescinded.[74] | |
South Africa | 11 March 1966[75] | 26 May 1994[76] | In March 1964, the South African foreign minister notified the ILO of the country's withdrawal.[75] From the late 1950s, the country's policy of institutionalized racial discrimination, officially known as Apartheid, had come under frequent condemnation; rather than be formally excluded from the ILO by a vote of the constituents, South Africa chose to withdraw.[77] Following the end of Apartheid and the conclusion of multi-racial elections, South Africa rejoined the ILO in 1994.[78] | |
United States of America | 1 November 1977[79] | 18 February 1980[80] | ||
Venezuela | 3 May 1957 | 15 March 1958 | Between May 1957 and March 1958, Venezuela was not a member of the ILO. In April 1955, the government expelled a Dutch worker delegate of the ILO Governing Body who had voiced criticisms of freedom of association rights in the country during a meeting of the ILO's Petroleum Committee in Caracas. Officers of the Governing Body subsequently adjourned the meeting, to which the Venezuelan government immediately objected and shortly after notified their intention to withdraw from the ILO. On 15 March 1958, Venezuela formally accepted the obligations of membership and was readmitted.[81] | |
Vietnam | 1 June 1985[15] | 20 May 1992[82] | In June 1983, Vietnam gave notification of an intention to withdraw temporarily. The reasons included an inability to pay the assessed membership fees due to extreme financial constraints, a lack of technical support and dissatisfaction with ILO investigations into claims of Vietnamese workers being subject to forced labour in the Soviet Union.[34][83] The withdrawal went into effect in 1985; Vietnam was readmitted in 1992.[82] | |
Yugoslavia | 16 June 1949 | 16 May 1951 | In 1947, with the emergence of the Cold War, Yugoslavia gave notice of withdrawal, citing incompatibility between the structures of the ILO and the country's ongoing socialist development. The withdrawal came into effect in 1949, however, Yugoslavia was readmitted in 1951.[84][85] |
Incomplete member withdrawals[]
Two member states have officially communicated an intention to withdraw, but prior to the ILO declaring their membership to have lapsed, subsequently communicated an intention to remain.

Indonesia | 25 March 1965[15] | 6 September 1966[15] | In 1965, the Indonesian government under President Sukarno communicated an intention to withdraw from the ILO, which would have taken effect on 25 March 1967. Subsequently, in 1966, the government under President Suharto, indicated that Indonesia no longer wished to withdraw. The ILO considered that there had been no interruption to Indonesia's membership.[86][15] | |
Poland | 17 November 1984 | 17 November 1987 | Submitted notification of intention to withdraw on 17 November 1984,[23] extended that intention in November 1986 without withdrawing, and rescinded the intention to withdraw on 17 November 1987.[24] |
Former non-sovereign state members[]
The ILO constitution indicates that members must be sovereign states (initially, members of the League of Nations or, after 1945, members of the United Nations).[87][b] This provision was affirmed on 26 August 1930 when the Permanent Court of International Justice ruled that Danzig, whose external relations were under Poland's control, was inadmissible to the ILO.[88] Despite this ruling, three non-sovereign states, prior to achieving sovereign status, were for various periods admitted as members of the ILO.[89]
Flag | State | Period of non-sovereign state status | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic | 28 April 1954 – 25 December 1991 | During the Yalta Conference in February 1945, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin and US President Franklin Roosevelt agreed that the USA and the USSR would each be entitled to two extra seats in the soon to be established United Nations. The USSR nominated the Byelorussian SSR and the Ukrainian SSR to the UN, which resulted in these two non-sovereign state entities achieving ILO membership.[6] The USA never exercised the option for extra seats at the UN.[90] With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Belarus and Ukraine became the successor states for the purposes of membership. | |
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic | 12 May 1954 – 25 December 1991 | ||
