20th Anniversary Ratification Campaign
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, a global campaign has been launched calling on governments to act immediately to end widespread human rights violations, suffered daily by migrants around the world, by ratifying this Convention.
Since its adoption by the United Nations General Assembly on 18 December 1990, the Convention has been ratified by 44 states and signed by a further 15 states. The Convention recognises the specific vulnerabilities of migrant workers and promotes humane and lawful working and living conditions. It provides guidance on the elaboration of national migration policies based on respect for human rights and the rule of law. It sets out provisions to combat abuse and exploitation of migrant workers and members of their families throughout the migration process.
We urge all governments to seize the occasion of the 20th anniversary to ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and thereby affirm their commitment to protect the human rights of migrant workers. We hope that on 18 December 2010, we can also celebrate the ratification of the Convention by many states.

The above abstract is from the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Although this anniversary was in 2010, I find it interesting as it is a good example of the effort of the international community to promote the protection of the rights of migrants. For example it made an impression to me that until 2010 only 59 states had ratified the related convention. Furthermore, I would like to point out the source that this abstract has been taken, as this site for the rights of migrants contains useful information about the issue, the campaign that is being launched for the promotion of the ratification of the Convention and the events related to it.
