Guide for non governmental organisations on the implementation of the UN Migrant Workers' Convention
In 2006, the IPMWC published a Guide that aims at enabling national or regional non-governmental organisations (NGOs), coalitions and individual organisations to effectively use the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrants Workers and Members of Their Families as a tool for the promotion and protection of the rights of migrant workers and their families.
This publication made in English, Spanish and French was updated in 2007. Printed copies of the 2005 version can be ordered from the IPMWC Secretariat. The full 2007 version can be viewed and/or downloaded:
Financial support for the production of the initial publication was provided by INTER PARES, NOVIB and UNESCO.
