dc.description.abstract	Sri Lanka is one of the three major labour exporting countries to ratify the UN Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICMR). The report identifies the obstacles and barriers which prevented other countries from being a party to the Convention. Cost of implementation and monitoring, fear of rejection of workers by destination, collusion between recruitment agents and government agents, fear of loss of markets and competition were some of the obstacles. With the intention of dispelling such fears and doubts, and resolving problems, the impact of ratification on Philippines and Sri Lanka was investigated and reported upon.	en_US
