A user-friendly Guide to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (ICRMW) is now available. Seeking to better protect migrants’ human rights and dignity, the new publication seeks to inform and persuade governments worldwide to sign and ratify the Convention, and to implement it at the national level. The guide provides a summary of Convention and discusses the process of ratification, outlines the pros and cons of ratification and refutes various misconceptions about the Convention. To date, 41 countries have ratified the ICRMW, far short of the 120 or more countries worldwide for which migration is an important feature, either as origin, transit or destination countries.
