Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 20
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Article 7 prohibits both direct and indirect discrimination against migrant workers. In line with the jurisprudence of other international human rights mechanisms, indirect discrimination against migrant workers occurs when a law, policy or practice appears neutral at face value, but has a disproportionate impact on their rights. For example, requiring birth certificates for school enrolment may disproportionately affect migrant workers in an irregular situation, who often do not possess, or have been denied, such certificates.
