Human Rights of Migrant Workers

 

The report, "Building Towers, Cheating Workers", highlighted what it called "serious abuses of migrant workers" and the Government sponsored illicit slavery market which prevails in United Arab Emirates.

The report documents abuses against migrant construction workers in the UAE based on violations of international law as well as UAE law.

The plight of tens of thousands of 'temporary workers', (called as third country nationals) who are allegedly badly treated in the United Arab Emirates, has gained attention long back and was accused the Emirates of building prosperity on "forced labor."

In a letter to Human Rights Watch of September 28, 2006, the government of the UAE argued that “workers hosted by the UAE and other GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries cannot be considered migrant workers, as they work on a temporary basis and according to them all expatriate workers in the country are easily 'deportable non-citizens'.

In reality the same view is applicable to all non citizens residing in UAE whether he or she hold a investor's / business visa of the United Arab Emirates!

Human Rights Standards of Migrants

The United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (Migrant Workers Convention, adopted December 18, 1990) entered into force July 1, 2003.
 
The term “migrant worker,” refers to a person who is engaged “in remunerated activity in a State of which he or she is not a national.

The Convention protects the rights of migrant workers and their families without distinctions such as sex, race, religion or national origin, nationality, age, economic position, property, marital status, birth or other status.

It includes:- Freedom to leave any State; the right not to be held in slavery, servitude or forced or compulsory labour; effective protection against violence and intimidation by both public and private actors; protection from arbitrary detention; the prohibition of imprisonment on the grounds of failure to fulfill a contractual obligation; the illegality of anyone other than an authorized public official from confiscating identity and other documents; the prohibition of unfavourable remuneration and conditions of work in comparison with nationals and the right to equality with nationals of the State before courts and tribunals.
