Convocation of the I O5th Session of the
International Labour Conference
(Geneva, 30 May-i i June 2016)
Dear Sir,
It is my pleasure to inform you that, in accordance with the decision taken by the
Governing Body of the International Labour Office, the i O5th Session of the International
Labour Conference will open on
Monday, 30 May 2016.
lt will be held at the
Palais des
Nations and at ILD headquarters in Geneva. After the successful trial of a two-week
Conference in 2015, the Governing Body has decided that the Conference should take place,
once again, in a shortened, two-week format. This year’s World of Work Summit is expected
to take place on
Thursday, 9
June; further information regarding the Summit will be
communicated to member States in due course. Please also note that provision has been
made for the holding of preparatory group meetings on
Sunday, 29 May
and in the morning
of
Monday, 30 May,
prior to the opening sitting.
A document entitled
Advance information
on the i O5th Session of the Conference
will shortly be posted on the ILD website at www.ilo.org/ilc. In line with the Governing Body
policy of reducing the use of printed texts, certain documents, including
Advance information,
will only be available in electronic form. A
Conference guide,
containing fuller details on
this year’s Conference, will be posted on the website following the 326th Session of the
Governing Body (March 2016), when the Governing Body will review a finalized plan of work
for this year’s Conference, and may take decisions altering the programme. The Conference
reports have already been or will be posted on the website as soon as they become
availa ble.
Special attention is drawn to the section in
Advance information
on “Participation”,
which deals with the composition of delegations. Member States are required to ensure that
their national delegations are fully tripartite and balanced as regards the number of advisers
accompanying the respective delegates representing the government, employers and
workers. You are also urged to make every effort to achieve a gender balance in delegations,
taking note of the section on “Gender parity” in
Advance information.
