Protection of migrant workers in Thailand a human rights perspective

Abstract

International Labour Organization, the Migration for Employment newlineConvention (Revised) of 1949 and the Migrant Workers (Supplementary newlineProvisions) Convention of 1975, are examined as is the 1990 United newlineNations Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant newlineWorkers and Members of Their Families. International law is, just as newlineinternational migration, premised upon the existence of States. newlineInternational law is created when States agree on norms in order to ensure newlineinternational coherence and cooperation. While these agreements are newlinemade in many areas, the protection of human rights stands out in newlineinternational law, as obliging States not only in relation to each other but newlinein relation to the people in their jurisdiction, including to aliens. newline
