The meeting organized in mid-October was designed to continue this work and help reach a consensus which would serve as a foundation for the ILO’s policy on the subject. Currently, only 23 countries have ratified Convention 181, adopted in 1997, which is not much given the number of ILO countries – 183. Danis Pennel, managing director of Eurociett, the European branch of the CIETT, explained, “This agreement is quite new and yet, it ranks second in terms of ratifications among ILO conventions.”
