Author response for "Creative Recourse in Cases of Forced Labour: Using Human Trafficking, Human Rights and Labour Law to Protect Migrant Workers"

ASEAN member countries are migrant-sending and receiving countries. Around 7.3 million ASEAN citizens are migrant workers, more than 740 thousand refugees are from Myanmar, and many ASEAN citizens are victims of human trafficking. Frequently, these migrants get discriminatory treatment, which makes them unable to fulfill their human rights. ASEAN, as a regional organization, is an actor that can implement migration governance in the region. As a governance institution, ASEAN has several migration instruments relating to human trafficking and migrant workers. To implement this regional instrument, ASEAN forms bodies that function to encourage and protect migrant rights. The Rohingya people from Myanmar still experiences forced migration and displacement. However, ASEAN still does not have a comprehensive instrument that can be a source of regional governance toward the issue. This paper will discuss the prospects of ASEAN migration governance in resolving migration issues in the region.

Children workers are complex problems. On one side, they must work because of poverty, and on another side, they mostly do not get government's protection.

Some risks they have to face are: high risk of weather and wave of the sea, cruel treatment, forced labour, unguaranteed job s avety and threat of death. The writer of this matter indicates that at least there are three kinds of violations, namely 1) that of human rights,2) that of labour law and 3) that of creation of broken society against social system.
