The ILO released the report “Cambodia’s Labour Migration Governance Framework: A Comparative Analysis with International Labour Standards for Recruitment, Work in Fishing, and Forced Labour” on 29 May 2024. The legal analysis seeks to inform Cambodia’s efforts to strengthen the related policies and laws by increasing their alignment with the international labour standards outlined in the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181); the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930; and the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188). The study advocates for ratification of these key international labour standards by Cambodia to help address the specific vulnerabilities of migrant workers in the fishing and seafood processing sectors through ensuring that adequate legal protections are in place.
