Migrant domestic workers 2011, para. 18
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- A wide body of international treaties articulate human rights, including labour rights, basic to all human beings, including all workers. In line with other human rights treaties, the protection against abusive and exploitative labour conditions afforded under the Convention extends to all migrant workers, irrespective of their migration status. In this regard, the Committee notes with concern that, at national level, major categories of law often ignore, or explicitly exclude domestic work and workers in ways that contribute to exploitative labour practices and limit avenues for legal redress in cases of violations.
