| Title | Forced Labor in Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation and the United States of America: how migrant workers are turned into "slaves" |
| Summary | This thesis aims to review and assess policies and laws that prohibit forced labor of migrant workers in the private economy in the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan), the Russian Federation (Russia), and the United States of America (the US). The thesis examines the problem of forced labor of migrant workers in the selected jurisdictions through the prism of various interrelated aspects. First, the study compares the States’ international commitments and considers how they implement them into national legislation. It also evaluates the role of regional human rights mechanisms that influence State willingness to protect migrant workers from exploitation. Second, the research compares labor migration policies and considers that the lack of human rights approach in labor migration policies increases migrant workers’ vulnerability to forced labor. Finally, the study examines criminal legislation that prosecutes forced labor and assesses its practical implication. Based on the analysis, the study also formulates recommendations for the States considered from a human rights perspective. |
