The International Labour Conference is voting on a proposed Convention on platform work. Delegates number four per member State: two Government, one employer and one worker delegate. Of 300 delegates present and voting, 190 vote in favour. What is the outcome under ILO adoption rules?

The proposed Convention is not adopted. ILO instruments need a two-thirds majority of votes cast by delegates present at the Conference. With 300 votes cast, 200 are required, and 190 falls short, so a simple majority is not sufficient.

  1. AAdopted, as a simple majority of those present is enough
  2. BNot adopted, because a two-thirds majority of votes cast is needed and 190 is below 200Correct
  3. CNot adopted, because unanimity of Government delegates is needed
  4. DAdopted, as only the Government delegates' votes count

Explanation

A Convention or Recommendation needs a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by delegates present. Two-thirds of 300 is 200, and 190 falls short. The simple majority view ignores this requirement.
