The Platform aims at facilitating the promotion, implementation
and monitoring of the United Nations Convention on the Protection
of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families
("the Convention").
It is a civil society initiative to encourage and facilitate non-governmental
involvement in the monitoring of the implementation of this core
international human rights treaty.
The Platform will also engage with the other United Nations treaty
supervisory bodies from a migrants' rights perspective. The Platform
has received the support of the newly established UN Committee of
independent experts set up to monitor the implementation of the
Convention. The Platform works through close co-operation with other
partner and interested non-governmental organisations based in the
countries that have ratified the Convention.
Any non-governmental organisation working or planning to work on
the protection of the human rights of migrant workers is welcome
to join the IPMWC as a member.
