Fifth colloquium on challenges in international refugee law Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ECONOMIC SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT REFUGEES HUMAN RIGHTS The Fifth Michigan Colloquium on Challenges in International Refugee Law considered the topic of the right to work for refugees and others in need of international protection. The right to work is a fundamental human right recognized in many international and regional human rights instruments, including the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (Refugee Convention), as well as international labor conventions. However, in many countries, refugees are denied access to the labor market and opportunities for self-employment. The Michigan Guidelines on the Right to Work were adopted by participants at the Colloquium with the aim of assisting states in the proper implementation of the right to work for refugees and other similarly situated persons. The guidelines are intended for use by national policy- and decisionmakers— for example, those responsible for designing and implementing national asylum laws and national labor laws. 2026-09-30T11:42:54Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33351708.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Fifth_colloquium_on_challenges_in_international_refugee_law/33351708 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
