Rohan, a CS student, is preparing a note on the ILO's structure. He wants to identify the organ that functions as the permanent secretariat of the ILO, serving as its operational headquarters, research centre and publishing house, headed by a Director-General. Which organ is this?

The International Labour Office is the correct answer. It is the permanent secretariat of the ILO, serving as its operational headquarters, research and documentation centre, and is headed by the Director-General. The Governing Body only supervises it, and the Conference is the legislative forum.

Explanation

The ILO has three principal organs: the International Labour Conference, the Governing Body and the International Labour Office. The Office is the permanent secretariat and is headed by the Director-General. The Governing Body is the executive council that directs the Office's work, so it is not the secretariat.
