Follow-up to the discussion on the protection of Employers’ and Workers’ delegates to the International Labour Conference and members of the Governing Body in relation to the authorities of a State of which they are a national or a representative

Following discussion of this agenda item at the 325th (November 2015) and 326th (March 2016) Sessions of the Governing Body, this document proposes a revised draft Conference resolution amending Annex I to the 1947 Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies to accord limited immunity from jurisdiction to Employers’ and Workers’ delegates to the International Labour Conference and to Regional Meetings, and to Employer and Worker members of the Governing Body, to protect the exercise of their official functions in the ILO in relation to the authorities of their own State. The Governing Body is invited to approve the draft resolution in Appendix I for submission to the next session of the International Labour Conference (see the draft decision in paragraph 9).
