EL DERECHO HUMANO AL TRABAJO DE LOS MIGRANTES
THE RIGHT TO WORK OF MIGRANTS

Summary/Abstract: Migrations are an essential element of human life in society, which define both modern societies and regional or national character. The history of mankind estimates that the phenomenon of migration has happened steadily since about two hundred thousand years ago, so it is far from being a new phenomenon; it is beyond the very existence of the State as a human creation of social organization and even the origins of the legal science itself. This issue is very complex and has different facets, so its comprehensive study should be interdisciplinary. However, there are different types of internal and external migration, and among them are a spontaneous movements of regrouping of populations, groups of individuals who migrate in search of refuge as the only way to preserve life, those who migrate due to natural disasters, or due to other causes. However, when emigration is strictly for labour purposes, the individual must receive a legally differentiated treatment by International Social Law, as well as national legal systems of countries of departure and arrival, differing from the rest of labour migration because two inalienable and indispensable human rights converge in one act: on the one hand, the right to migrate, and on the other hand, the right to work; both fundamental rights provided in Articles 13 and 23 of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" of the United Nations. This article addresses those complex problems of current interest.
