Description
Sri Lanka has called for efforts to introduce standard terms for employment of migrant domestic workers and closed cooperation between the labor sending and receiving countries to ensure their insurance and protection. At an address on dialogue on international migrant workers, Sri Lanka's External Affairs Minister Prof. G.L. Peiris commented that the efforts to work on standard terms for employment was a vital necessity and its adoption would solve close to 90 percent of the problems faced by workers and that a rights based approach should be an important essential feature in the dialogue. The two-day Asia - Gulf States Regional Dialogue on Standard Terms of Employment for Migrant Domestic Workers concluded on the 4th of December which saw participation from representatives from around 20 countries.
