Abstract
This article highlights the ILO concerns regarding the protection and promotion of the rights of migrant workers and the legal protection that they enjoy in selected Asian countries, particularly in the fields of working conditions and industrial relations. National situations and the latest trends and developments concerning labor rights are described for the ASEAN and South Asian countries including the Asian NICs. ILO's guiding principle is that migrant workers in foreign lands ought to be entitled to the protection and benefits of national laws and that national laws, in turn, should be adequate to protect and promote the basic rights and welfare of all workers whether national or foreign. In particular, the article cites the limitations of national laws and their implementation as well as the latest progress made to reform or improve local legislation.
