Rights of migrant workers have been strengthened with ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) foreign ministers approving two documents at a recent meeting... Labour-sending states are tasked to set up policies that would eliminate malpractices by ensuring legal and valid contracts, and regulating and accrediting recruitment agencies... Labour-receiving countries, on the other hand, are to promote job protection, payment of wages and access to decent working and living conditions for migrant workers. They are to provide victims of discrimination and abuse access to their legal system.
