In 2006, Egypt submitted a report to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families. This paper is a reaction to Egypt’s report to the Committee; it provides some recommendations for improving Egyptian laws in order to ensure the government’s compliance with its obligations under the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families. The paper will demonstrate that the government generally respects its obligations under the Convention. However, there remain some areas where more scrutiny is needed, chief among which are the rights to education and social security. The paper also provides some explanations of current laws and provides recommendations for their improvement so that compliance with modern human rights standards is ensured.
En 2006, l’Egypte a présenté son rapport au Comité des Nations unies pour la protection des droits de tous les travailleurs migrants. Cette contribution est, en quelque sorte, une réaction à ce rapport et suggère diverses pistes en vue d’améliorer le cadre législatif égyptien dans le sens d’une plus grande convergence avec les dispositions de la Convention relative à la protection des droits de tous les travailleurs migrants et des membres de leur famille. On y constatera que de manière générale, les autorités égyptiennes respectent les engagements qu’ils ont pris au regard de cet instrument. Cependant, certaines questions méritent une attention particulière, principalement, celles de l’accès à l’éducation et à la sécurité sociale. Les dispositions législatives pertinentes sont analysées et commentées, des changements sont suggérés en vue de leur adéquation avec les standards actuels en termes de respect des droits fondamentaux.
