TO ALL MEMBER STATES OF THE ILO
ILC 111 - 100
17 February 2023
Convocation of the 111th Session of the
International Labour Conference
(Geneva, 5-16 June 2023)
Website: www.ilo.org/ilc
Dear Minister,
It is my pleasure to invite you to the 111th Session of the International Labour Conference which will
be held from Monday, 5 June to Friday, 16 June 2023. The Conference venue will be the Palais des
Nations and the ILO headquarters in Geneva.
This year’s Conference will mark a return to fully in-person participation. It is therefore expected that
Member States will ensure the presence in Geneva of national tripartite delegations.
In addition to the standing items, this year’s Conference also contains agenda items of particular
importance, including a standard-setting discussion on apprenticeships, a recurrent discussion on
the strategic objective of social protection (labour protection) and a general discussion on a just
transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all.
In the second week of the Conference, a high-level event will be dedicated to the launch of the
Global Coalition for Social Justice, which aims to bring together ILO tripartite constituents,
international organizations, and other relevant stakeholders with a view to strengthening efforts to
realize social justice. Heads of State or Government of all Member States are cordially invited to
participate in the high-level event. It is expected to be held on Thursday, 15 June, with the possibility
of commencing the day before. A formal invitation letter will follow in this respect.
Member States are required to ensure that national delegations to the Conference are fully
tripartite and balanced as regards the number of advisers accompanying the respective
delegates representing the governments, employers and workers.
Member States should spare no effort to achieve gender parity in national delegations. In this
respect, the prepared infographic shows that women accounted for 36.5 per cent of participants
at the 110th Session of the Conference in 2022.
The accreditation of Conference participants will be done through a password-protected online
accreditation system which will be activated on 2 May 2023. Access codes will be sent to each
Member State. The credentials of your country’s tripartite delegation are expected to be
deposited with the Office by Monday, 15 May 2023.
2.
Member States requiring visas should contact the Swiss consular services directly to obtain the
visas required for delegates included in the credentials.
Please note that the ILO does not provide participants with insurance coverage for accident or
illness while travelling to or from Geneva or during the Conference.
Further information will be posted on the Conference website as it becomes available.
I look forward to welcoming you in Geneva, distinguished Minister, as well as your national
delegation at the 111th Session of the International Labour Conference. Our joint efforts will
empower the Organization to effectively promote social justice and decent work for all.
Yours sincerely,
Gilbert F. Houngbo
Director-General
