Articles 1(1), 2(1) and 25 of the Convention. Vulnerability of migrant workers to conditions of forced labour. International cooperation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that in order to promote the protection of migrant workers in the destination country, it has made several efforts through regional and multilateral fora, including the ASEAN Forum, the Colombo Process, the Global Forum on Migration and Development and the Abu Dhabi Dialogue. The Government also states that a moratorium policy is being enforced against the placement of migrant workers in the domestic sector in the Middle Eastern countries. In this regard, the Committee notes from the ILO report on Asia-Pacific Decent Work Decade 2006–15: Indonesia that the Indonesian Government has imposed a moratorium on the sending of migrant workers to work in the informal economy in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria and Malaysia. Moreover, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that it has concluded Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with several countries, including Malaysia, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. These MoUs include an employment agreement which refers to the fundamental rights of the workers such as wages, working hours, rest hours, working conditions and documents that they must hold on their own. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the implementation of the MoUs in practice, and their impact on protecting migrant workers. It also requests the Government to continue to provide information on international cooperation efforts undertaken to support migrant workers in destination countries, including measures specifically tailored to the difficult circumstances faced by such workers to prevent and respond to cases of abuse.
