ACCESS TO INFORMATION FOR MIGRANT WORKERS AS AN EFFORT TO FULFILL THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Individuals must have the fundamental human right to information in order for them to actively engage in society and make decisions that are based on accurate knowledge. Access to information is necessary in order to preserve the rights of migrant workers, as well as to ensure that they live healthy and safe lives. This study investigates the legislative framework that governs migrant workers' rights to information and examines the degree to which these rights are being met in practice. The research examines international human rights instruments, national laws and regulations, and case law concerning the right to information for migrant workers using a normative juridical approach. The study analyses voids and inconsistencies in the legal framework, and it suggests how those voids and inconsistencies can be filled and the legal framework can be enhanced to better protect the right of migrant workers to information.
