Abstract

There is no global regime to regulate labor migration. The 1951 UN Convention and 1967 Protocol on the Status of Refugees oblige signatories not to return refugees to face persecution, and the 1949 and 1975 International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions call for equal treatment of legal migrant workers in host countries. The 1990 UN Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers and Their Families adds to migrant worker protections and extends some to unauthorized migrants. Unlike the Refugee Convention, few migrant-receiving countries have signed the ILO and UN Migrant Conventions.
