Migrant worker’s right to health 2013, para. 12
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Each State involved in the migration process should comply with its obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the right to health of all persons within its jurisdiction, including migrant workers. Bilateral agreements and non-binding memoranda of understanding between States are commonly used to govern labour corridors and terms and conditions to be abided by them. The regulatory structure contained in such arrangements should be enforceable and reflect principles of the right to health, especially non-discrimination, empowerment, participation, transparency and accountability of State and non-State actors.
