National Human Rights Institutions joint statement on International Migrants Day

On International Migrants Day 2020, National Human Rights Institution of the Maldives, Nepal, and the Philippinescall to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of migrant workers and their families, and commit to take action to support the rights of workers to remedy for wage theft and other human rights abuses against migrant workers...

Upholding human rights is an international responsibility, demanding cooperation between states. That cooperation has never been more important than during the time of COVID-19. NHRIs have a significant role to play in acting and cooperating to uphold migrant workers right to remedy, to justice for wage theft...

Hence, we call on states to uphold their duty to promote and protect the rights of migrant workers and their families and ensure access to remedy, and we call on businesses to fulfill their responsibilities to respect human rights as outlined in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
