       ANNEX
DECLARATION  CONCERNING  THE  AIMS  AND  PURPOSES  OF  THE  INTERNATIONAL  LABOUR  ORGANISATION
         *      The General Conference of the International Labour Organisation, meeting in its Twenty‑sixth Session in Philadelphia, hereby adopts, this tenth day of May in the year nineteen hundred and forty‑four, the present Declaration of the aims and purposes of the International Labour Organisation and of the principles which should inspire the policy of its Members.

         *      The Conference reaffirms the fundamental principles on which the Organisation is based and, in particular, that:
           (a) labour is not a commodity;
           (b)  freedom of expression and of association are essential to sustained progress;
           (c)  poverty anywhere constitutes a danger to prosperity everywhere;

           (b) the attainment of the conditions in which this shall be possible must constitute the central aim of national and international policy;
           (c) all national and international policies and measures, in particular those of an economic and financial character, should be judged in this light and accepted only in so far as they may be held to promote and not to hinder the achievement of this fundamental objective;
           (d) it is a responsibility of the International Labour Organisation to examine and consider all international economic and financial policies and measures in the light of this fundamental objective;
