How does the ILO set and supervise global labour standards?

The origin: the 1919 Treaty of Versailles' Part XIII (the social-justice-as-peace thesis — "poverty anywhere constitutes a danger to prosperity everywhere"); the 1946's specialised-agency status; the Nobel's recognition (1969). The structure's tripartite uniqueness: the governments- workers-employers' equal seats (the only tripartite UN body): the International Labour Conference (the annual assembly — the standards' adoption); the Governing Body (the executive — the agenda's setting); the International Labour Office (the secretariat — the DG's administration). The functions: the standard-setting (the conventions-and-recommendations); the supervision (the regular-and-direct-contacts machinery — the CEACR's examination of the reports); the technical cooperation (the projects); the research-and-publication.
