Isabelle Lespinet-Moret International Labor Organisation during the interwar: Labor Policy between Industrials’s economics interests and social justice ideal

The creation in 1919 of the ILO can be explained by a general will to regulate the labor market and the conditions of work. The aim is to make international concurrence more loyal, for the preservation of the social peace and of the peace between nations. The specific interests of each industrial sector, of each social category must be considered and the project is to build a consensus for the welfare of the workers. In consequence of these objectives, the working of the ILO is based on tripartism (employers, trade unions, State delagations) and the tensions between the partners shaped the debates. These tensions can also be perceived in the making of rules and standards for the legislation of labor. Questions as 8 hours day work, occupational disease or the fight against unemployment, were hardly discussed during the interwar period. The consequences of the economic crisis and of the growth of fascisms made more difficult the project to draw an international social policy.
