- Summary
- Criticises the cost-benefit approach to the issue of migration, placing at the forefront the economic imperatives of countries of origin and destination, at the expense of the human rights imperatives of the individual migrant worker. Urges the Committee on Migrant Workers to recommend to the High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development, due to be held at the 61st Session of the General Assembly in 2006, that the issue of international migration and development must be discussed within the framework of international human rights law and standards, including the rights and principles contained within the Migrant Workers Convention.
