Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 12
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In adopting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, States accepted the solemn commitment to promote the universal respect for, and protection of, all human rights and fundamental freedoms. States also recognized that all human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and interrelated. The principle of non-discrimination enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (art. 2), in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (art. 2, para. 1; art. 26) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (art. 2, para. 2), recognizes that individuals are entitled to all human rights without distinction of any kind as to "race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status". Economic, social and cultural rights are guaranteed to "everyone including non-nationals, such as refugees, asylum-seekers, stateless persons, migrant workers and victims of international trafficking, regardless of legal status and documentation", and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights obliges States to take immediate, deliberate, concrete and targeted steps towards the realization of these rights. The non-discrimination principle vis-à-vis migrant workers is reinforced by the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (Convention on Migrant Workers), which guarantees the human rights of all migrant workers and their families.
