title: Setting norms in the United Nations system:  the draft convention on the protection of the rights of all migrant workers and their families in relation to ILO in standards on migrant workers.
abstract: The author reviews the U.N.'s draft proposal concerning the rights of migrant workers and their families.  "This article examines the nature and scope of obligations under the United Nations Convention and contrasts them with existing international standards.  In the light of the elaboration of the U.N. Convention, the conditions of future normative activities to limit negative consequences of a proliferation of instruments and supervisory mechanisms are outlined."  Consideration is given to human and trade union rights, employment, social security, living and working conditions, workers' families, expulsion, and conditions of international migration.
