Abstract:

The study delves into the connection between migrants and their human rights. Migrants are individuals who leave their home countries in search of opportunities such as education, employment, or to reunite with family. International human rights law, such as the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) and the International Convention for the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, advocates for the rights of migrants. However, the enforcement of these laws and policies varies widely across the world due to economic, social, and political factors. This research aims to provide insight into the identity of migrants, the reasons for their migration, and the challenges they face, while also exploring their legal rights. The study evaluates the human rights framework that applies to migrants, highlights the gaps in policy implementation, and emphasizes the need for policies that respect and protect the rights of migrants. Ultimately, it recommends that governments strive to strike a balance between the human rights of migrants and the development of policies.
