Limitations on the rights of migrant workers: Is a compliant and consistent approach being followed?

Migration has become a global phenomenon and South Africa, like many other countries, is a recipient of migrant workers. Migrant workers can be classified under five categories: permanent residents, refugees, asylum seekers, temporary residents, and undocumented migrants. This article focuses on documented migrants and their right to engage in work. Integral to the right to work is the right to choose one's trade, occupation or profession freely. This is a constitutionally protected right, but is reserved exclusively for citizens, which implies that migrant workers can be lawfully excluded from working in certain occupations or professions. This ties in with South Africa's obligation to protect employment opportunities for citizens. However, South Africa has immigration laws in place that afford substantial rights to certain categories of migrants. Furthermore, as a member of the UN and International Labour Organisation (ILO), South Africa has certain international law obligations. Against this backdrop, this article engages with the recent Constitutional Court decision of Rafoneke v Minister of Justice and Correctional Services where temporary residents were denied the right to be admitted to practise and be authorised to be enrolled as legal practitioners. The article seeks to establish whether this decision, which has been viewed as disappointing, complies with international law and upholds the legal principles endorsed in preceding cases.

Analysis of the Implementation of Article 42 Of UUPMI No. 18/2017 on the Duties and Responsibilities of Village Governments Affecting the Vulnerability of Violence and Trafficking in Persons (TPPO) for Women Migrant Workers in Lampung Province

Most migrant workers in Lampung are women from the informal sector; they suffer issues such as non-procedural departure, unpaid salaries, fraud, harassment, and trafficking as a result of working in Lampung, Indonesia's sixth largest province, for placing migrant workers. UUPMI No. 18/2017 was passed to ensure the safety of migrant workers and their families. The purpose of this research is twofold: first, to learn more about how Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017 on local government responsibilities is practiced, and second, to learn more about what obstacles hinder the implementation of the law. Secondary and primary data from literature research, field investigations, and qualitative analysis are utilized to inform both normative and empirical legal approaches. Partially implemented is Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017, which discusses the government's duty to safeguard the rights of migrant workers and to stop violence and TPPO against women in Lampung Province. Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017 is not being implemented by village administrations due to a lack of personnel. Migrant farm workers from rural areas lack access to social programs, education, and resources due to a lack of financial support. Provincial, district, and municipal governments do not coordinate or share statistics with one another.

1.Q. Workshop: Work, health, and migration: understanding the health impacts of precarious and exploitative work

Abstract The ILO estimates that of the 169 international migrant workers globally, the largest share resides in Europe, where increasing numbers are at substantial risk of precarious, exploitative, and hazardous work conditions. While the right to health and decent work of migrants is recognised by European member states, COVID-19 has exposed how some low-wage migrant workers are compelled to accept exploitative and precarious employment terms and conditions, with implications for their health. The vulnerability of migrants to labour exploitation is influenced by both personal factors (such as age and gender) as well as situational factors (such as risk environments across the migration journey and national legislation). Hazardous, precarious, and exploitative work is an entrenched driver of poor health. Data show that low-wage migrant workers have higher injury and mortality rates compared to host workers and face barriers to occupational and mainstream health and vaccination systems. In this workshop, we will discuss the patterns of precarious work and labour exploitation in migrants residing in Europe, physical and mental health effects of labour exploitation, research and policy gaps, and models of good practice to ensure that the health and rights of migrant workers are protected. Workshop plan The workshop will start with 10-minute presentations by each of the 4 speakers (including a short Q&A after each talk). This will then move into a 20-minute audience discussion centred around exploring how to foster intersectoral collaboration across the work, migration, and health research communities to begin addressing some of the evidence and policy gaps in the European region. Key messages • Migrant workers have worse health outcomes than native workers, including higher rates of occupational injury and deaths. • Labour exploitation is an important social determinant of health among migrants which requires greater recognition in research and practice.

Migration status of migrant workers under the international human rights protection system

The international protection of the rights of migrant workers and their migratory status is a crucial issue in the current global context. Migrant workers face numerous challenges and vulnerabilities due to their cross-border mobility, making them more susceptible to exploitation and discrimination in the workplace. To address this issue, the international community has established a legal framework aimed at safeguarding the rights of migrant workers. Instruments such as the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, adopted in 1990, recognize the basic human rights of these workers, regardless of their migratory status. Achieving more effective protection requires promoting closer international cooperation and fostering dialogue among countries of origin, transit, and destination. Additionally, addressing the underlying causes of migration and improving legal pathways for labor migration are crucial steps in ensuring that the human rights of migrant workers are respected and protected at all levels.

Mobilizing the Rights of Migrant Workers: Swedish Trade Unions’ Engagement with Law and the Courts

ABSTRACT Migrant workers, both regular and irregular, are at particular risk of having their rights violated. At the same time, there has been an absence of support for exploited immigrant workers from Swedish authorities and civil society. Lately, a number of trade unions and semi-union organisations in Sweden have developed methods to mobilize the rights of migrant workers experiencing exploitation on the Swedish labour market. This article investigates strategies utilized by trade unions to mobilize migrant workers’ rights by engaging with the law and the courts. It draws on qualitative interviews with trade union representatives and court judgements from the Labour Court and other civil courts. We identify legal practices that range from immediate legal assistance and everyday negotiations with employers to litigation in court. We show how the practical, aspirational, and creative engagement of a small group of trade union representatives with the law and courts has generated a new form for mobilizing the rights of migrant workers in the Swedish context. This form of legal mobilization is both instrumental and political, driven by the rhetoric of class struggle and a belief in the rights of migrant workers.

Social Life Cycle Analysis of Intensive Greenhouse Farming: A Qualitative View of Tomato Production in Almeria (Spain)

This paper presents an exploratory qualitative Social Life Cycle Analysis (S-LCA) of intensive greenhouse tomato farming in Almeria, Spain, with a specific focus on the social impacts on migrant workers. By setting as a functional unit the production of 10 kg of greenhouse tomato, the study investigates the social dynamics and challenges faced by migrant workers within the industry. The research sheds light on the negative aspects of intensive greenhouse farming for migrants, i.e., labor conditions, health and safety risks, social inequality, and exploitation of migrant labor. Utilizing document analysis, this study contributes to the field of S-LCA by providing a nuanced understanding of the social dimensions surrounding tomato production and migrant workers’ experiences. It emphasizes the need for sustainable practices, improved labor conditions, and ethical considerations to ensure a socially responsible tomato farming industry. The findings have implications for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and consumers, providing insights for informed decision-making and the promotion of socially sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize the well-being and rights of migrant workers in the context of intensive greenhouse farming in Almeria.

강제실종방지협약의 이행감시절차와 한국의 이행

On January 4, 2023, Republic of Korea acceded to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. With this accession, Korea is now a party to eight of nine core UN human rights treaties, excluding the International Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers.
 The Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance adopts various procedures to monitor the implementation and compliance of State Parties' obligations and establishes the Committee on Enforced Disappearances as the body to operate them. By acceding to the Convention, Korea is automatically subject to the Convention's procedures such as States Parties reports, urgent action, and country visits. In addition, the optional procedures of individual communication and inter-state communication are also available to Korea as it has declared its acceptance of the relevant provisions. As Korea is already subject to similar implementation monitoring procedures to the Convention, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention Against Torture, and the Working Group on Enforced Disappearances, there are actually no additional sovereignty constraints or obligations that would be added by Korea’s accession to the Convention. For now, the Convention requires the submission of a national report by February 3, 2025, and while there is a need to align domestic legislation with the Convention's standards and reflect this in the national report, the Convention is a single reporting system, meaning that once the first national report is completed, the burden of reporting will be lessened in subsequent years.
 Withe the accession to the Convention, Korea has ratified or acceded to most of the UN human rights treaties, further solidifying its position as a key member of the UN human rights treaty system. Unfortunately, the Convention is limited in its universal application due to the slow pace of ratification and non-recognition of individual communication and inter-state communication. In this respect, Korea's accession is significant in terms of the spread and development of the Convention. Korea is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has accepted individual communication and inter-state communication at the same time as it accessed the Convention, which confirms its commitment to human rights protection and its participation in the international human rights protection system.

Migrant Workers in Seychelles: The Mechanisms in Place to Address Their Work-Related Disputes in the Light of Article 54(2) of the Convention on Migrant Workers

According to the Seychelles Ministry of Employment, as of July 2022, twenty-five per cent of the workforce in Seychelles were migrant workers. In December 1994, Seychelles acceded to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (the Convention). Article 54(2) of the Convention provides that ‘[i]f a migrant worker claims that the terms of his or her work contract have been violated by his or her employer, he or she shall have the right to address his or her case to the competent authorities of the State of employment.’ In 2008, the Seychelles Employment Act (the Act) was amended to establish the Employment Tribunal (the Tribunal) with exclusive jurisdiction over labour matters. Before an employer or worker lodges a grievance before the Tribunal, he/she is required to first attempt mediation before a competent officer in the Ministry of Employment. The Act includes specific provisions applicable to non-Seychellois workers. In this article, the author read the cases decided by the Tribunal between 2008 and September 2022 to establish how it has protected the rights of migrant workers. The author also assesses the mediation provisions under the Act—before competent officers. The findings show that the Tribunal’s approach substantially complies with Article 54(2) of the Convention. The author also illustrates the extent to which Seychelles complies with Articles 1(2), 25, 26, 32, 37, 43(3) 66(2) and 68 of the Convention. However, where necessary, the author suggests ways in which the rights of migrant workers can be better protected. Although there have been a few reported cases of irregular foreign workers in Seychelles, this article is limited to the protection of the rights of regular migrant workers. This is so because the author could not find a case in which the Tribunal or the competent officer dealt with the rights of irregular foreign workers. However, based on the drafting history of the Convention, it is argued that it applies to both regular and irregular workers.

Improving the protection of migrant workers with work histories in the European Union and Ibero‐America: Enhancing the coordination of international social security instruments

AbstractMigration affects almost every nation, emphasizing the need to guarantee social security rights for all migrants and their families. This article focuses on the rights of workers who migrate between the countries of the European Union (EU) and the Ibero‐American community. In the EU, social security systems are increasingly coordinated through Regulation No. 883/2004 and its Implementing Regulation No. 987/2009. In the Ibero‐American community, coordination is sought through the Ibero‐American Social Security Convention. Despite convergence between these two international instruments, coordination is still lacking between them. This article presents a comparative analysis to articulate the necessary mechanisms to guarantee coordination, to respect the social security rights of migrant workers. We focus on the cooperation and coordination between regional as well as national systems, specifically looking at the need for and aims of a rapprochement between these two major international coordination instruments to provide greater EU‐Ibero‐American cooperation. Finally, the importance of promoting greater international cooperation in social security policy and administration is highlighted, to engender the adequate protection of the rights as well as the free movement of migrant workers.

Oman: Recent Developments in the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers and of Women

Abstract This survey is a review listing some key legislative and executive measures of the government of Oman in the year 2021–2022, which have relevance to mainly the rights of the migrant workers. Further, and in less detail, this survey also refers to some of the developments pertinent to the rights of women living in Oman. However, more generally these rights are less relevant to women who are not Omani nationals. Oman is a member country of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The GCC comprises six states in the Arab-Gulf region: Oman, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. These oil-producing states have a significant proportion of foreign workforce in the population. Foreign workers work mostly in the private sector and are also residents in the host countries. At 46.5 per cent, Oman has a relatively lower proportion of migrants in its population among the GCC members (UN DESA, 2020). Therefore, a broader spectrum of governments’ measures relating to the issues like labour, entry and residence, and ownership of property or business touch the lives of the foreign/migrant workers or expatriates in the Gulf country. Governments’ initiatives targeting domestic workers are relevant also for women because they comprise the majority in this group. The survey notes that most of the governmental activity in Oman in the past year largely concern new laws or amendments of the existing legislation and regulations linked to labour and residency matters. Some of the more relevant ones that the survey has selected here confirms this. It also marks the period post the pandemic, which had posed considerable economic challenge for the government. Hence, as also some neighbouring Gulf countries, Oman has shown a balance of measures. On the one hand, to revive its economic dynamism and competitiveness by facilitating more ease and benefits to attract and retain foreign labour and investment in the country. On the other hand, with measures such as increased nationalization effort and support expressly favouring the national workforce to boost their more active participation in the labour market. The new labour law declared by the Omani government and its signing of the Maritime Labour Convention are a few notable highlights. The survey has essentially drawn on the government’s documents and announcements as available in English or translated text, in addition to information in the press and other relevant sources.

Bahrain: Recent Developments in the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers and of Women

Abstract This survey reviews some of the key legislative and executive measures of the government of Bahrain in the year 2021–2022, which have relevance to mainly the rights of the migrant workers. Further, and in less detail, this survey also refers to some of the developments pertinent to the rights of women living in Bahrain. However, more generally these rights are less relevant to women who are not Bahraini nationals. Bahrain is a member country of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The GCC comprises six states in the Arab-Gulf region: Oman, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. These oil-producing states have significant proportion of foreign workforce in the population. Foreign workers work mostly in the private sector and are also residents in the host countries. At 55 per cent, Bahrain has a relatively lower proportion of migrants in its population among the GCC members (UN DESA, 2020). Therefore, a broader spectrum of governments’ measures relating to the issues like labour, entry and residence, and ownership of property or business touch the lives of the foreign/migrant workers or expatriates in the Gulf country. Governments’ initiatives targeting domestic workers are relevant also for women because they comprise the majority in this group. The survey notes that most of the governmental activity in Bahrain in the past year largely concern new laws or amendments of the existing legislation and regulations linked to labour and residency matters. Some of the more relevant ones that the survey has selected here confirms this. It also marks the period post the pandemic, which had posed considerable economic challenge for the government. Hence, as also some neighbouring Gulf countries, Bahrain has shown a balance of measures. On the one hand, to revive its economic dynamism and competitiveness, measures have been taken aimed at facilitating more ease and benefits to attract and retain foreign labour and investment in the country. On the other hand, measures have been taken that expressly favour the national workforce in order to boost their more active participation in the labour market and to support increased nationalisation efforts. The Bahraini government’s introduction of new labour reforms replacing its Flexi-work permit programme, initiatives to enforce the Wage Protection System, and easing of residence permits are a few notable highlights. The survey has essentially drawn on the government’s documents and announcements as available in English or translated text, in addition to information in the press and other relevant sources.

United Arab Emirates: Recent Developments in the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers and of Women

Abstract This survey reviews some of the key legislative and executive measures of the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the year 2021–2022, which have relevance to mainly the rights of the migrant workers. Further, and in less detail, this survey also refers to some of the developments pertinent to the rights of women living in the UAE. However, more generally these rights are less relevant to women who are not UAE nationals. The UAE is a member country of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and a federal state comprising seven emirates namely, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. The GCC comprises six states in the Arab-Gulf region: Oman, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. These oil-producing states have a significant proportion of foreign workforce in the population. Foreign workers work mostly in the private sector and are also residents in the host countries. At 88.1 per cent, the UAE has the highest proportion of migrants in its population among the GCC members (UN DESA, 2020). Therefore, a broader spectrum of governments’ measures relating to the issues like labour, entry and residence, and ownership of property or business touch the lives of the foreign/migrant workers or expatriates in the Gulf country. Governments’ initiatives targeting domestic workers are relevant also for women because they comprise the majority in this group. The survey notes that most of the governmental activity in the Emirates in the past year largely concern new laws or amendments of the existing legislation and regulations linked to labour and residency matters. Some of the more relevant ones that the survey has selected here confirms this. It also marks the period post the pandemic, which had posed considerable economic challenge for the government. Hence, as also some neighbouring Gulf countries, the UAE has shown a balance of measures. On the one hand, to revive its economic dynamism and competitiveness, measures have been taken aimed at facilitating more ease and benefits to attract and retain foreign labour and investment in the country. On the other hand, measures have been taken that expressly favour the national workforce in order to boost their more active participation in the labour market and to support increased nationalisation efforts. The UAE government’s expansion and the introduction of new residence and entry visas, unified rules of labour, and the Abu Dhabi government’s initiative with separate personal status law for non-Muslim foreigners in the emirate are a few notable highlights. The survey has essentially drawn on the government’s documents and announcements as available in English or translated text, in addition to information in the press and other relevant sources.

Evaluation of the International Labor Organization project in Qatar

In April of 2018, the International Labor Organization (ILO) opened its first project office in Qatar to assist the government in reforming labor market policies to ensure compliance with international labor conventions and achieving fundamental principles and migrant worker rights. Using a policy transfer theoretical framework, this study examines the challenges, progress, and achievements of the ILO project in Qatar across five outcomes: minimum wages and wage security, labor inspection policy, occupational health and safety programs, Kafala (sponsorship) abolition, recruitment and working conditions, prevention, safeguarding, prosecution against forced labor; and promoting workers 'perspective, and access to justice. Data for this study consisted of governments and ILO administrative data and reports as well as evidence from literature review and government websites such as the Ministry of Labor, Qatar Statistics Authority, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, the ILO Arab States, International Organization for Migrations, and Regional United Nations agencies. Additionally, semi-structured interviews have been conducted with ILO Qatar experts on four progress reports 2018-2021 on labor market challenges, policies, and reforms in Qatar. The key accomplishments of the ILO and the government of Qatar include destroying the kafala system and creating a universal minimum wage for all workers. This signifies a shift toward more open, progressive migrant labor policies and an evolving acceptance of migrant rights and opportunities by the government and members of the mass culture.

Legal Analysis of EU Policies: Understanding the Binary Status of Labour Migration

In the context of the post-COVID-19 pandemic, Europe faces two significant challenges regarding migrant workers: a shortage of agricultural production workers in certain countries and the "coercive acceptance" of undocumented migrant workers. As most EU countries experience economic recovery following the pandemic, there is an urgent need to restore production activities at a reasonable cost. However, the aging population in some European nations compels governments to recruit foreign workers at elevated costs, leading to irregular migrant workers being viewed as a viable temporary solution. Reopening diplomatic programs with strategic partner countries is also a pressing priority, creating a challenge in reducing illegal migration without erecting insurmountable barriers in diplomatic relations. This analysis examines EU policies regarding migrant workers, with a particular focus on Spain, utilizing qualitative comparative research methodology to explore the distinction between illegal and irregular migration from the perspectives of human rights law and humanitarian considerations, while highlighting various aspects of EU legal documents aimed at protecting the rights of migrant workers and their families.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION FOR MIGRANT WORKERS AS AN EFFORT TO FULFILL THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION

Individuals must have the fundamental human right to information in order for them to actively engage in society and make decisions that are based on accurate knowledge. Access to information is necessary in order to preserve the rights of migrant workers, as well as to ensure that they live healthy and safe lives. This study investigates the legislative framework that governs migrant workers' rights to information and examines the degree to which these rights are being met in practice. The research examines international human rights instruments, national laws and regulations, and case law concerning the right to information for migrant workers using a normative juridical approach. The study analyses voids and inconsistencies in the legal framework, and it suggests how those voids and inconsistencies can be filled and the legal framework can be enhanced to better protect the right of migrant workers to information.

Using Islam to Protect the Rights of Migrant Workers: Bringing Kafala into Sharia Compliance in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is home to thousands of migrant domestic workers who cook, clean, and provide child-care in private homes. These individuals are not only subject to the kafala system, where their visa is strictly tied to their employer, but they are excluded from the protections accorded to other workers (both Saudi and non-Saudi) under Saudi Labor Law. Although Saudi Arabia has promulgated a set of regulations to govern the treatment of migrant domestic workers, these regulations guarantee only the most basic rights and are often not enforced. As a result, the mistreatment of migrant domestic workers in Saudi Arabia has become a topic of concern for both human rights organizations and the International Labour Organization. In this Comment, I provide a history of kafala in Saudi Arabia, an overview of the role of Islamic law (sharia) in Saudi governance, and an analysis of sharia-compliant labor protections to argue that Saudi Arabia can and should reform its laws around migrant domestic workers to protect their fundamental human rights. In doing so, Saudi Arabia would not only uphold its obligations under international human rights law, but would increase its compliance with sharia as well.

The Urgency of Human Security in Protecting the Rights of Migrant Workers: Case Study Indonesian Migrant Workers In Malaysia And Hong Kong

It has become undeniable phenomenon that the demand of migrant workers has arises in this globalization era. Better condition of working has triggered people movement to get better job and salary outside their countries. One of the major sending and receiving region of migrant workers is Southeast Asia. Two main destinations of Indonesian migrant workers are Hong Kong and Malaysia. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore that Indonesian migrant workers often face human rights abuses when they are working abroad, for instance, retained legal document, exceeded working hours, human trafficking resulted in physical violence. In Malaysia, Indonesian migrant workers mostly become the victims of human trafficking, physical abuse and excessive working hour. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, the violation of the rights of migrant workers are the excessive of working hours as well as physical violence. This paper argue that Malaysia and Hong Kong are two main countries which has shown significant differences in addressing human rights violations. This paper seeks to remedy those problems by comparing policy in both countries related to human rights abuses. This paper uses Human Security concept as the conceptual framework followed by its two approaches type, for instance, Economic Security and Personal Security. At the end, this paper conclude that Hong Kong has implemented better law enforcement than Malaysia.

Legal Assistance (Social Advocacy) on The Civil Rights of Indonesian Migrant Workers in The Sumber Gede Community

The phenomenon of migrant workers in Indonesia is one of the issues that often cause public unrest. Migrant workers are considered foreign exchange heroes for the country. However, often the problems that afflict these migrant workers are unknown and even untouched while still working or after working as a migrant workers.
