On this day 30 years ago the United Nation’s General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Since then, we celebrate this day as International Migrants Day. The primary objective of the convention is to foster the rights of international migrants. Let us take this anniversary as an opportunity to reflect on the advancement of rights for migrants in one of the main migrant-receiving regions in the world, namely the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
