CHALLENGES TO THE HUMANIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE RIGHTS OF MIGRANT WORKERS - DOI: 10.12818/P.0304-2340.2022v81p449

Abstract

This article investigates whether International
Law, with regard to the protection of migrant
workers, is giving continuity or not to the
historical process of humanization. Initially,
migration and its push and pull factors are
analyzed, as well as vulnerabilities and human
rights violations in the light of Cançado
Trindade’s theory. Next, international
standards for the protection of migrant
workers are analyzed. The deductive method
is used. It is concluded that International
Law is continuing the historical process
of humanization in the elaboration of
international norms, through norms such as
the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and
Regular Migration, but it has been insufficient
to deal with increasingly hostile government
policies in relation to migrant workers.
