The study asserts that political will and the overwhelming sense of necessity instrumental in bringing about a negotiated agenda on undocumented migrants is hindered by the extra-Convention factor of unfavorable perceptions receiving and sending states have of each others policies on undocumented labor migration. The study finds the receiving states perception of a disproportionate burden imposed regarding the protection of the rights of undocumented migrant workers, without evidence of corresponding obligations undertaken by sending states to check clandestine emigration, as hindering the ratification of the Convention by receiving states. An argument is made for a consensus, made possible either at the initiatives of the United Nations or individual sending states, by highlighting steps taken by sending states to stem clandestine emigration as incentives for receiving states to assume Convention obligations. In this regard, the study examines the policy responses of Bangladesh, a signatory to the Convention, to the clandestine emigration of its workers to Malaysia and India. The multi-disciplinary analysis in the book is intended for enthusiasts and students of varied disciplines ranging from law to political history.
