7.7 ICMRW (1990)

The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families — the migrants' comprehensive treaty: the rights' catalogue across the regular/irregular status spectrum (the minimum floor for all; the fuller protection for the regular); the sending-and-receiving states' asymmetric interests (the ratification gap: the sending states party, the destination states absent — the convention's structural weakness); the CMW committee (the reporting dialogue). Nepal's stakes: the millions of Nepali migrant workers (the Gulf-and-Malaysia corridors) — the destination states' non-party problem (the protection falling to the bilateral labour agreements and the ILO standards instead); the Foreign Employment Act 2064's domestic frame (the safe-migration and the reintegration agendas; the LRA 2064).
