ILO supervisory system: Special procedures

The special procedures enable constituents to raise with the ILO alleged shortcomings in the manner States give effect to international labour standards or realize the fundamental principles of the ILO. Unlike the regular system of supervision, the three procedures listed below are based on the submission of a representation or a complaint:

• Procedure for employers’ or workers’ organizations representations under article 24 on the application of ratified Conventions
• Procedure for complaints under articles 26 to 34 over the application of ratified Conventions
• Special procedure for complaints regarding freedom of association through the Committee on Freedom of Association
