CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The International Labour Organization was created in 1919, written into the Treaty of Versailles that ended the First World War.
Its founding idea was that lasting peace has to rest on social justice, which is why labour standards were treated as a peace question.
It began under the League of Nations and became a United Nations specialised agency after 1945, making it older than the United Nations itself.
Worth noting
A question that asks which agency is oldest is asking about this. The others named here are all creations of the 1940s.
