In search of equality - A critical analysis of non-discrimination provisions in human rights treaties as they apply to migrant workers in Sub-Saharan Africa

describe and critically analyse previous publications, postulations,
universal and regional instruments that were designed to address the
protection of migrant workers from in human rights law.

of the practices of the two African States I have selected for study; and
thirdly, through its recommendations for improvements. (Less)
