The International Labour Organization (ILO) was established in 1919. After having been put up to the test within the Intl. Association for Labour Legislation in Basel, their ideas were recorded into the Constitution of the ILO. The constitution is about labour existing in their period of time. One of the entries mentions, 'Conditions of labour exist involving...justice, hardship and privation to large numbers of people.' In 1948, an American, David Morse was named to head the ILO, where he remained to work until 1970. While celebrating their 50th anniversary, the ILO received the Nobel Peace Prize for their effort in helping third world countries become a minority among developing countries.
