International Labour Organization | Where to go for help: Pakistani migrant workers’ access to justice at home and in Gulf Cooperation Council countries (ILO, 2016) | This study was initiated to understand the situation of accessing justice in Pakistan and in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The study examined factors preventing migrant workers from registering a complaint and the accessibility and effectiveness of the grievance-handling mechanisms available. The study identified bottlenecks in the grievance-handling process and potential ways to improve it to provide a speedy, accessible, less costly and just remedy to migrant workers.
The survey was conducted under the International Labour Organization’s European Union-funded South Asia Labour Migration Governance Project
The research and analysis presented in this report look at the options available to Pakistani migrant workers to access the justice system in either Pakistan or their country of destination to redress a recruitment- or employment-related grievance. The host country focus in the report is primarily Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates because they are the most common destinations for Pakistani migrant workers.
The term “access to justice†in the context of this study means the ability of migrant workers to seek and obtain a remedy through formal or informal legal institutions. Access to justice has two dimensions: (i) procedural access, which refers to a fair hearing before a tribunal, and (ii)substantive justice, which refers to receiving a fair and just remedy for a violation of rights.
The report examines the channels through which migrant workers can seek justice for recruitmentor placement-related violations. It discusses the judicial system challenges that migrants usually experience when acting on their rights. The discussion includes recommendations for the Government of Pakistan and institutions involved in the migration process to consider for minimizing the challenges that migrant workers usually encounter.
The objective of these TORs is to prepare a research paper on migrant workers access to justice, including the legal and equitable remedies for any violation of rights of Pakistani migrant workers in both countries of origin and destination in the GCC.
The researcher will examine multiple areas of laws including labour, civil, and social laws to have a better understanding of the remedies that are available for migrant workers. The researcher will additionally explore the extent to which migrants can obtain remedies through related criminal proceedings and how these proceedings may affect their access to justice.
In light of ILO’s mandate to work towards improved protection for migrant workers, this initiative will be particularly valuable in identifying the measures for accessing effective judicial remedies (material and immaterial damages, as well as punitive fines and measures) especially in cases of abuse and exploitation, to strengthen the enforcement of labour protection for migrant workers.
