Strengthening Protection of Migrant
Workers and their Families with international Human Rights
Treaties - A Do-it-yourself-Kit
The book is a do-it-yourself kit entitled "Strengthening
the Rights of Migrant Workers and their Families with International
Human Rights Treaties." It examines in particular the
newest of the seven core UN human rights treaties: the Migrant
Workers Convention, which is the first international treaty
that gathers in one place all of the universal rights that
apply specifically to migrant workers. In force since 2003,
the Migrant Workers Convention has been ratified by 34 countries
to date, with ratifications up over 50% in the past three
years. This toolkit is one of the first publications in
the field.

The second edition of the do-it-yourself kit (April 2006)
is available upon request from ICMC.
