SEANF Paper on Migrant Workers on knowledge of migration management and human rights principles. The SEANF recommends that the center use technological advances, such as a website with a secure section, to allow remote checking of status of applications or registration and other steps in the migrant worker recruitment or deployment, and placement or monitoring processes. (4) Effective cooperation between sending and receiving states 61. The SEANF recommends that there should be more effective collaboration between sending and receiving states in the protection of the rights of migrant workers.The SEANF calls for the ASEAN Instrument to ensure that human rights protections for migrant workers, such as those contained in the ICRMW, are incorporated into all bilateral and multilateral agreements on migration between ASEAN member states. 62. The SEANF recommends that the ASEAN Instrument call for creation of effective and practical cooperation between representatives of sending countries’ Embassies who are based in labour receiving states, and representatives of the labour receiving government. Embassy staff should be given clear mandates and necessary resources to carry out their mission to protect the rights of their nationals working in the receiving country. Officials of the labour receiving government should be required to cooperate fully with the Embassy-based staff to monitor, investigate and take action against abuses of migrant workers’ rights. (5) Standard migrant worker employment contracts 63. While the SEANF recognizes that there are significant differences in labour markets between the ASEAN countries, we also believe there are certain human rights standards that should apply throughout ASEAN. To date, the SEANF observes the great difficulty is not enunciating these rights but rather having them effectively enforced. To bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality, the SEANF recommends that the drafters of the ASEAN Instrument should agree that there will be a common migrant worker employment contract that contains human rights guarantees. These guarantees should include freedom of association and right to collective bargaining under applicable Unions, basic occupational safety, provision for one days rest in a seven-day work-week, 32
