Meera, a company secretary, is preparing a note on the ILO. She wants to state correctly when and in what context the organisation was created. Which statement is correct?

The ILO was created in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles after the First World War. It later became the first specialised agency of the United Nations in 1946, so it predates the UN rather than being created by it.

  1. AIt was created in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles, after the First World WarCorrect
  2. BIt was created in 1945 along with the United Nations Charter
  3. CIt was created in 1919 as a specialised agency of the United Nations
  4. DIt was created in 1948 following the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Explanation

The ILO was established in 1919 through Part XIII of the Treaty of Versailles, following the First World War. It became the first specialised agency of the United Nations only in 1946. Hence the option calling it a UN agency at creation in 1919 is wrong, since the UN did not then exist.
