About the Book

Migrant workers and their families outnumber refugees and displaced persons, but are given far less attention when it comes to the international protection of their rights. Indeed, to be an economic migrant today carries with it a stigma in a word where barriers to voluntary international migration are growing ever higher. This timely work evaluates the international protection of the rights of migrant workers and their families in countries of employment focusing on their economic, social, cultural, political, and residence rights. The book begins with an overview of international labour migration and its relationship to the right to development. It examines the rights of migrant workers as aliens in general international human rights law as well as the specific efforts and measures of the International Labour Organization and the United Nations. The final part contains a comprehensive case study of the multifarious standards adopted under the auspices of the Council of Europe and the European Union to protect this increasingly vulnerable group of human beings.

Review :
`This book is a much needed, comprehensive survey of international human rights law and of relevant national legislation enacted by the major migrant-receiving nation-states. Exhaustively researched ... This is an excellent library reference volume and is a book of considerable interest to all scholars of migration and of international law.' Michael LeMay, International Migration Review `meticulously prepared and handsomely produced volume. The strengths should be appreciated by anyone undertaking research into the circumstances of migrant workers...The range of source material on migration as well as on law is impressive, and the exposition polished.' Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, vol 24, no 1, Jan 1998. `valuable and timely book ... Migrant Workers offers the most comprehensive survey of international instruments for the protection of the rights of migrant workers and members of their families to date ... For specialists on migration issues, the exhaustive research that evidently went into the book's preparation should be especially satisfying ... The book should be widely used for years to come.' Manolo I. Abella, International Labour Office, The American Journal of International Law, Vol 93
