FORMATION OF THE REGIONAL MODEL OF INTERNATIONAL LEGAL REGULATION OF LABOUR IN ASEAN
Abstract
Cooperation among ASEAN members at work bears the stamp of a special Asian civilizational approach to international law. For the regional community ASEAN is important to combine the ideal and optimal, legal and social values and practices that will help protect the interests and rights of workers, including migrant workers. Feature of the international legal regulation of labour within ASEAN is predominantly extra-contractual nature of the adopted acts, whether the ASEAN Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers 2007 and the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration 2012. The main priorities of the regional regulation of labour are not in favor of labour rights, and in favor of economic development, which is a global trend, so the first place is to ensure the free movement of skilled workers,and in the Bali Declaration on ASEAN Community in the global community of nations (Bali Consent III), adopted in 2011 at the 19th Summit of Heads of State and Government of ASEAN, the theme of regional mobility and mutual recognition of professional qualifications "migrated" from the Economic Community to the Socio-cultural Community. A second area of cooperation is their attitude to migrant workers: promotion of fair and appropriate employment protection for the payment of wages, and adequate access to decent working and living conditions for migrant workers, with adequate access to legal and judicial systems of the host countries, without prejudice to their laws, regulations and policies.
