As an essential aspect of protecting the right to health of migrant workers, States should ensure monitoring and accountability of recruitment agencies. States may monitor recruitment agencies through legislation, providing for mandatory licensing requirements, regular reporting and independent monitoring and inspections. Monitoring is also necessary to prevent illegal recruitment agencies from entering the market and exploiting migrant workers.
