It is not the only one. The work will by no means be completed when your country ratifies the Convention. Monitoring A significant function of a national campaign committee can be that of actually monitoring and documenting abuses of migrants' rights, in order to strengthen the case for the Convention and to implement legislation. This may be developed through establishing a monitoring team within the national campaign committee. There may be other options, for example asking a national human rights, civil rights, or lawyers organization to set up a monitoring process.
Monitoring involves identifying and carefully documenting cases of abuse.
It should also include a thorough review of existing legislation to determine where there may be provisions applicable to sanctioning violations of rights and their perpetrators, and also seeking redress and compensation for the victims. Such a review will also determine where the gaps are, most of which would be filled if the Convention standards were implemented. A monitoring process should provide reliable data to demonstrate the nature and extent of problems, as well as prove why it is important for the Convention on migrant workers' rights to be ratified by the government. National reports to treaty bodies Today, nearly all countries in most regions are States Parties to one or several of the major international human rights instruments. Most of these treaties have established treaty bodies to monitor and review implementation.
