The United Nations Convention on the Protection of the Rights of
All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families is the most
comprehensive international treaty in the field of migration and
human rights. It sets a worldwide standard in terms of migrants'
access to fundamental human rights, at a time when the number of
migrants is on the rise and evidence regarding human rights abuses
in relation to migration increases. Yet, since the Convention
entered into force in 2003 only 35 states have ratified it, and no
major country involved in immigration as done so. This volume
coordinated by UNESCO provides in depth information on the
Convention and on the reasons behind states' reluctance to ratify
the Convention.The first part documents the history, content and
scope of the Convention and features chapters by those directly
involved in drafting and implementing the Convention, including
international civil servants and human rights activists. The second
part provides case studies focusing on the countries across the
world which receive the most immigrants, and explores the situation
in terms of migrants' rights and the obstacles to, and prospects
for states' ratification of the treaty.
