Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 4
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Committee is of the view that the term "in an irregular situation" or "non-documented" is the proper terminology when referring to their status. The use of the term "illegal" to describe migrant workers in an irregular situation is inappropriate and should be avoided as it tends to stigmatize them by associating them with criminality.
