A member State, Bharatiya Republic, sends its delegation to the International Labour Conference. A trainee claims that each member State sends four delegates, all nominated by the Government. Which statement correctly describes the composition of a national delegation under the ILO Constitution?

Each member State's delegation to the International Labour Conference has four delegates: two representing the government, one representing employers and one representing workers. This reflects the ILO's tripartite structure, with employers and workers voting independently and not as mere observers.

  2. BOne delegate each for government, employers, workers and the judiciary
  3. CFour government delegates, with employers and workers attending only as observers
  4. DTwo government delegates, and two employers' delegates with no workers' delegate

Explanation

Each member State sends a delegation of four: two government delegates, one employers' delegate and one workers' delegate, each of whom may be accompanied by advisers. This is the tripartite structure unique to the ILO. The option giving four government delegates ignores tripartism.
