This research provides a country-level case study analysis of two of the principles of the OHCHR Principles and Guidelines on the rights of migrants in vulnerable situations: Principle 6, the right to human rights-based returns, and Principle 14, the right to just and favourable working conditions. The two principles were examined in the contexts of Jordan and Lebanon, in order to ascertain existing progress towards, or evident gaps in, the rights of migrants outlined in the framework, from the perspective of state policy and procedure.
