About this statute

This article says the Convention applies to migrant workers and their family members, generally without discrimination, throughout the migration process, and sets out Committee procedures for examining communications. This provision defines several types of migrant workers, including frontier, seasonal, seafarer, offshore installation, itinerant, project-tied, specified-employment, and self-employed workers. This article says the Convention does not apply to several listed groups, including certain internationally posted workers, some State-posted development workers, investor residents, refugees and stateless persons (unless national or international rules say otherwise), students and trainees, and certain seafarers/offshore workers. This article defines who counts as “members of the family” for the Convention. Migrant workers and their family members are treated as documented/regular if they are authorized to enter, stay, and do paid work in the State of employment under that State’s law and applicable international agreements.
