(b) requested the Director-General to take the necessary measures to facilitate implementation of this legal protection in relation to official missions of the ILO defined in a tripartite manner; and

(c) in order to ensure the effective recognition of such legal protection, again urged ILO Members that have yet to do so to accede to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies and apply its Annex I or otherwise provide the same level of legal protection.
