Islam’s evolving role in the protection of foreign workers

This summer Arab countries, and especially Gulf States, took a step towards labour equality when they supported an International Labour Organisation convention calling for the protection of migrant workers. Gulf contributions to the dialogue were welcome and overdue.

Justice, equality, safety, security and human dignity are indispensable values in Islam. However, there is not a detailed Islamic legal code or system for the protection of refugees, internationally displaced people and migrant workers according to contemporary understanding.
