Recommendations are not open for ratification, they specify general or technical guidelines and often supplement corresponding Conventions.

Since 1919, the ILO has adopted 31 Conventions and 23 Recommendations in the area of social security, which have greatly contributed to the development of social security as a universal human right In 2002, the ILO Governing Body confirmed eight out of these 31 Conventions as up-to-date social security Conventions
