Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 13
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Convention strikes a balance between the sovereign power of States parties to control their borders and to regulate the entry and stay of migrants workers and members of their families, on the one hand, and the protection of the rights, under Part III of the Convention, of all migrant workers and members of their families, including those in an irregular situation, on the other. This balance is reflected in article 79 of the Convention.
