Summary
Migrant Forum in Asia replies to the following questions on the sitution on undocumented workers in Indonesia, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Philippines, Taiwan and Burma: 1. In the context of globalization and increasing cross-border movements, how does the protection of human rights of migrant workers foster their capacity to obtain decent work and contribute to the economic and social development of both country of origin and employment? 2. How can a better recognition and protection of the human rights of all migrant workers discourage irregular and clandestine migration in abusive conditions and lead to increased benefits for both countries of origin and countries of destination? 3. How can compliance with the State’s obligation to inform properly the migrant worker enhance the chances of successful migration and thus reinforce its positive effect on the development of the migrant worker and consequently of the communities of which he/she is a member? 4.
