— October 29, 2010The 99th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) was successfully held from 2 to 18 June 2010 in

The Decent Work for Domestic Workers (standard setting with a view to the possible adoption of a Convention supplemented by a Recommendation) was tabled under Item IV with the Committee on Domestic Work put in charge of the discussions.
