Standards for the protection of the rights of migrant workers within the framework of special human rights conventions

Abstract

This research paper analyzes the various international legal instruments within the institutional framework of the United Nations, and in particular the
special human rights agreements, in order to trace the most important rights guaranteed and included in order to protect migrant workers, as the development of international human rights law has led to some slight progress in reducing arbitrary or unfair practices of states in their sovereignty over migrant workers .Considering that the human rights contained in the seven main United Nations human rights treaties apply in principle to all human beings because they are universal, as all people benefit from them, and therefore they do not exclude migrant workers from the protection they grant, but they limit this protection in some cases, in addition to that, the committees that monitor the implementation of the United Nations agreements in the States Parties have established judicial precedents, explicitly or implicitly, that include migrant workers in many areas of protection, as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child,have included a set of provisions that grant some important rights that ensure effective protection for migrant workers.
