Human Rights of Migrants

Vincent Chetail

Chapter 37 in Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Migration and Asylum Law, 2025, pp 214-220 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The human rights of migrants encompass a range of entitlements and guarantees aimed at ensuring the dignity and safety of people on the move. They are applicable to all migrants, regardless of their nationality, origin, or status. The human rights of migrants are well grounded in international human rights law, through a broad number of general and specialized conventions. Although migrants are clearly recognized as rights holders, they are still suffering from endemic violations, exploitation, and racism.
