Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 18
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The principle of non-discrimination is central to all international human rights instruments and to the Charter of the United Nations. Article 7 of the Convention explicitly includes nationality among the prohibited grounds of discrimination. Treaty bodies have also interpreted the prohibition of discrimination to include non-nationals, such as migrant workers, regardless of legal status and documentation. The rights in Part III of the Convention also apply to all migrant workers and members of their families, including those in an irregular situation. Therefore, any differential treatment based on nationality or migration status amounts to discrimination unless the reasons for such differentiation are prescribed by law, pursue a legitimate aim under the Convention, are necessary in the specific circumstances, and proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued.
