"The labour rights of migrant workers globally, especially of those in essential sectors, must be
guaranteed and measures are taken to protect their health," said Can Unver who chairs the UN
Committee on Migrant Workers, and Felipe González Morales, the UN Special Rapporteur on the
human rights of migrants." In 17 guidelines to global governance, experts urge to protect the rights
of migrants including access to their territories and rescue operations for those who are distress at
sea and the international borders. An international body such as UNHCR urges countries for the
integration of all migrant workers under a national COVID-19 prevention and response plan
including providing the facilities all social services. The objective of the paper is to discuss the
conditions of migrant communities abroad (undocumented, documented workers, refugees, and
minorities). The methodology has been done by a documentary analysis. The outcome of the paper
is to know about the rights of international workers and their protection lawfully. The feature
question of the paper is how do the migrant workers protect them from uncertain situations?
