INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF MIGRANT WORKERS: PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION IN NATIONAL LEGISLATION

The article examines the problems of the implementation of international standards for the protection of the rights of migrant workers in the national legislation of various states. The key international documents regulating the rights of this category of persons, such as the UN Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, as conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), are analyzed. The main barriers to the effective implementation of international norms at the national level, including political, economic, social and legal factors, are identified. Special attention is paid to the analysis of contradictions between international standards and national legislation, as well as the effectiveness of mechanisms for monitoring the observance of the rights of migrant workers. Based on the analysis, recommendations are proposed for improving national legislation and practice in order to ensure better protection of the rights of migrant workers in accordance with international obligations.
