The General Assembly, Having considered the item on the agenda of its fourth regular session entitled "Discriminations practised by certain States against immigrating labour and, in particular, against labour recruited from the ranks of refugees", Noting that the question of the treatment of migrant labour has been dealt with by the International Labour Conference which, at its 32nd session, adopted a Convention[1] and a recommendation[2] dealing comprehensively with migration for employment, Decides to transmit the records of the discussions on this subject at its fourth regular session to the International Labour Organisation, with the request that the International Labour Organisation should do all in its power, in view of the importance of the principle of non-discrimination embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to expedite the ratification and application of the Convention by its members, and to promote its observance as regards the social relations of the workers and their families with the inhabitants of the region, so that no offensive distinctions may be established in regard to the former and that they may enjoy all facilities for accommodation, food, education, recreation and medical assistance, both public and private, which are provided for the community. 243rd plenary meeting,
17 November 1949.
