Rezumat

This article focuses upon the legal situation of migrant workers in relation to their enjoyment of human rights. It commences from the contemporary situation of the increasingly global and frequent character of human mobility – rising numbers of migrants whose migration is often irregular – combined with evidence of human rights abuse during the migration cycle. It then indicates that this has led to migrants being identified as a vulnerable group and brought within the mainstream of human rights protection. Further, it emphasizes that, under the principle of universality of human rights, all migrants, irrespective of their status, are protected by the core human rights treaties. In addition, the international labour standards protect basic worker rights, enhance workers’ job security, and improve their term of employment on a global scale. In addition, migrant workers can also enjoy the protection of their state of nationality by means of diplomatic protection and consular assistance. It concludes by indicating the continued necessity for migrant workers, irrespective of their status, to be accorded the full and effective enjoyment of human rights protection.
