DC: Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, ILO 111, 1958 (entered into force 1960)

This ILO Convention promotes equality of opportunity and treatment in employment and occupation. It requires states to implement a national policy to achieve this goal, with a view to eliminating discrimination in opportunity and employment matters. Indirect as well as direct discrimination is prohibited on a limited range of grounds, including sex. Countries are required to seek the cooperation of employers' and workers' organizations in achieving the aims of the Convention, and special affirmative measures designed to address particular forms of discrimination are deemed not to be discrimination. Implementation of the Convention is supervised by the ILO.
