International Labour ~Weekly Update

As a student I consider myself busy, so sorry that this is a week late, in return, a double update.

Progress is happening little by little, perhaps an interesting thing to think about is how the ILO could help support countries seeking to resolve this bilaterally, what kind of assistance could we give?

Some more detailed information on the accords that are being negotiated by the UAE with India and the Philippines:

Double update eh? Slow couple of weeks for International Labour News. Until next time, cheers eh?

Welcome to ILO - HSMUN 2009!

Hello delegates!

My name is Sarah, and I am part of the news staff that will be covering ILO for this year's HSMUN. I'm a first year Arts student at the U of A. My first HSMUN experience occurred during my grade twelve year when I was a writer for the United Nations News.
Currently, I'm reading through "Extending Social Security: Policies for Developing Countries" on the ILO website. Be sure to check it out, along with all the other resources being provided!
