The International Confederation of Arab Trade Unions (ar:"الاتحاد الدولي لنقابات العمال العربي") is the international representation of trade unions in a number of Arab nations.
Founded in 1956, the ICATU was originally located in Egypt, but was moved to Syria in 1978 in protest against Anwar Sadat's Visit to Israel.
