18 December 2017

Every December 18 we celebrate International Migrants’ Day. It is on this day in 1990 that the UN adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. This convention lays out human rights principles as the basis of rights protections for migrant workers and their families in countries of origin transit and destination, without discrimination based on nationality, religion, skin color, or gender.
