Show detail Hide detail

Canada. International Labour Affairs Branch : The Paris Peace Conference following World War One attempted not just to make peace among the belligerents of 1914-1918, but to establish a basis for continuing peace in the international world. Recognizing that industrialization had made labour peace an essential objective in modern societies, the Peace Conference adopted a convention calling for the creation of an International Labour Organization. This body, designed to bring together representatives of Labour, employers and governments from all member nations, held its founding conference in Washington 29 October to 29 November 1919. Canada was a founding member of the ILO and her participation in succeeding years was largely the responsibility of the Department of Labour. Although a formal International Labour Organization Branch (later International Labour Affairs Branch) was not created in the department until 1946, Department of Labour officials had been conscientious participants in the ILO since its inception and remain so today. (It was a measure of Canada's interest in the ILO that its offices were moved formally to Montreal from Geneva during the Second World War). RG27 General Inventory
