In 2019 the International Labour Organisation will celebrate its Centenary, establishing it as one of the oldest international organisations. In this paper, we argue that important insights into this longevity can be provided by an examination of the activities of the early Directors-General of the ILO and the introduction of three principal strategies – autonomy, presence and relevance. Through the case study of New Zealand, we demonstrate how these strategies provided the wherewithal for ILO survival during the inter-war years and established the foundation for its longevity.
