The global labour market regime that has emerged during the past three decades is characterized by precarious working conditions, mostly affecting illegal migrants. A range of social and political movements on all levels has generated strategies and discourses of contestation that emphasize the importance of universal and collective rights. In connection with these initiatives, this article addresses the issues of accountability and contingencies for the implementation of migrants' rights and the human rights included in the ILO's decent work agenda (DWA). It is argued that the creation of a workable model for the institutionalisation of labour standards cannot be left to the currently asymmetric global governance regime. Emphasis is placed on the key role of trade-union confederations and other civil society organizations (CSOs) in establishing an approach based on migratory rights, labour standards and the development of fair globalisation.

Keywords : global governance; decent work agenda; migrants' rights; human rights; labour force.
