The impact of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements on the human rights of migrants 2016, para. 26
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Despite a global boom in labour mobility agreements during the 1990s, geographic biases prevailed, reinforcing power imbalances between sending and receiving States, rather than remedying them. States members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) registered a fivefold increase in the number of bilateral labour mobility agreements and Latin American countries doubled their numbers; countries in Asia and Africa, on the other hand, failed to register the same figures.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
