Iraq has been a member of the ILO since 1932 and has ratified 72 ILO Conventions (of which 56 are in force), including nine out of the ten fundamental Conventions. Since 2004, the ILO and Iraq’s government, workers’ organizations and employers’ organizations have worked closely as part of the post-war reconstruction effort to bolster Decent Work and develop the labour market across the different areas of the country.
