Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 9
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- For example, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides for a wider scope of protection regarding the right of peaceful assembly, the right to freely enter marriage and to equality of rights and responsibilities of spouses, the right of every child to special protection, the right to equality before the law and equal protection of the law, and minority rights. In addition, other rights enshrined in the Covenant apply to all migrant workers, whether in a regular or an irregular situation, such as the right to form associations and trade unions and the right to protection of the family, whereas the Convention makes a distinction between migrant workers in a regular situation and those in an irregular situation. Both the Covenant and the Convention protect the right to freedom of movement and to free choice of residence of migrants insofar as they are lawfully within the territory of a State party.
