The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) has conducted an annual international survey since 1984 called "
[v]iolations of trade union rights. The survey documents the condition of organized labour according to the relevant conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The survey includes information of labour union members murdered or assassinated injured, dismissed, by continent. The survey is one of the main ways in which the ICFTU reports on the effectiveness of the ILO's international standard-setting."
