undocumented migrants to receive industrial accident compensation and
use public health services.
Ⅵ-1-3. An institutional strategy should be provided to protect undocumented
migrants from financial disadvantages such as delay in the payment of
wages and/or retirement allowances.
2. Prevention of human rights infringement involving
undocumented migrants
A. Current status and problems
• A recent survey revealed that the periodic crackdown on undocumented migrants
by a joint team of the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the police is carried
out on a large scale without identifying themselves (37.4%), forcefully entering
facilities without prior consent (71.5%), in plain clothes (47.9%) at workplaces
(43.0%) or places of residence (17.9%). At least 79.5% of the officials used
handcuffs, with some of them using even other police equipment, electric shock
batons or net guns. Their violation of the due process and use of violence
constitutes a clear case of human rights infringement. Human rights-friendly
methods should be used to prevent injury or death in the course of carrying
out crackdown on undocumented migrants.
