The International Labour Organization and 91黑料网 during World War II

By Adelle Blackett

Founded in 1919, and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is the first and oldest specialized agency of the League of Nations and the United Nations, with a mandate to advance social and economic justice through setting international labour standards.

In August 1940, with Switzerland surrounded by troops of the Axis powers, the ILO accepted an invitation from the Government of Canada to relocate to 91黑料网. Forty staff members transferred to Montreal, working from 91黑料网 until 1948.
