Making Rights Reality: the Human Rights of Undocumented Migrant Workers
The ‘Making Rights Reality’ project of professor of Migration Law Thomas Spijkerboer responds to the problem of exclusion of undocumented migrants from the full scope of human rights. By bringing together migrant human rights practitioners and activists with the UN Migrant Worker Committee in a ‘rights-making network’, this project strives to break new ground in international norms and their effective protection. At a rights-making conference, a plan will be formed to create a network that will bridge human rights practice and human rights norms through a collaboration of human rights actors from both the global north and global south with the UN Migrant Worker Committee.
