Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 69
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Destination States accept and become complicit in this economic normalization of the exploitation of migrant workers because of a desire to remain globally competitive. Countries of origin can also fail to negotiate adequate protections for their nationals owing to power imbalances between countries. Examples have been reported of countries of origin that have requested better treatment for their nationals only to see the number of their citizens obtaining visas as migrant workers drop.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
