UN Committee on Migrant Workers: Draft General Comment No. 5

In April, the GDP submitted information to the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and their Families (CMW) following a call for stakeholders to provide inputs on a detailed questionnaire to be used in drafting General Comment No.5 on Migrants’ Rights to Liberty and Freedom from Arbitrary Detention. The CMW requested detailed legal and policy information on States parties to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers as part its drafting process for general comment. Thus, the GDP indicated data and other resources available through our database and website to assist the committee in completing its documentation efforts. View the CMW’s Draft General Comment No. 5 “Concept Note and Call for Inputs” here.
