Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 28
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Article 16, paragraph 5, requires States parties to inform migrant workers and members of their families who are arrested of the reasons for their arrest at the time of arrest and, as far as possible, in a language they understand. Moreover, they must be promptly informed of the charges against them in a language they understand. In order to comply with this obligation, States parties should consider preparing standard notification forms, containing, inter alia, information on available remedies, in the languages that are most frequently used or understood by migrant workers in an irregular situation in the State party concerned. Such standard notification forms, however, should be complementary to the issuance of a detention order containing factual information and the legal grounds pertaining to the arrest.
