Since its establishment in January 2004, the MWC has carried out very significant work. However, its task remains a difficult one for three main reasons of an institutional, normative, and practical nature. First, the Committee must find a place among a broad range of actors with concurring and sometimes conflicting mandates. Second, the rights of migrant workers and their families are governed by a complex set of overlapping norms enshrined in numerous instruments. Such a dense normative framework requires careful and harmonized guidance in interpreting the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (ICRMW). Third, the most serious difficulty encountered by the Committee is linked to the limited number of states parties to the ICRMW.","PeriodicalId":349098,"journal":{"name":"The United Nations and Human Rights","volume":"283 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116093309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal basis for monitoring was to be the submission and review of reports submitted regularly by States parties. The chapter then addresses the work of CEDAW and its contribution to making the guarantees of the Convention a reality. An assessment of the record of a treaty body such as CEDAW must take into account, among other factors, the mandate of the body, the expertise and commitment of its members, the political and international legal context of its work, the resources available to it, the efficiency and effectiveness of its procedures, and the quality and impact of its output.","PeriodicalId":349098,"journal":{"name":"The United Nations and Human Rights","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121720163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
