Campaigning for the Ratification of the Migrant Workers Convention
December 18 is an active member of the International Steering Committee of the Campaign for the Ratification of the Migrant Workers Convention.
In Europe, none of the EU Member States has ratified the Convention. Building on our work with the European Platform for Migrant Workers Rights (EPMWR), we are preparing the launch of a new European campaign with the aim to get ratification before the next European Parliament elections.
In Belgium, we are working together with the “Commission belge francophone et germanophone pour l'UNESCO” to put the need for ratification back on the political agenda.
