Objective
Although there is no accepted
definition of migrant workers in irregular situation (e.g. persons
moving outside regular migration channels (IOM), or not authorised to
enter, stay or work in the country of destination (ILO), undocumented
individuals), this group faces several human rights abuses in Europe.
This online legal seminar will explore how these persons can exercise
their human rights under EU law and the European Convention of Human
Rights, especially in terms of access to justice and legal remedies
available to them against exploitation and abuse from employers.
The seminar will further provide a forum for discussion to legal
professionals on how to balance the relevant interests at stake in line
with human rights standards.
