Focusing on seasonal agricultural migrant workers in Canada, this article
illustrates how local migrant rights activists have utilized different judicial
fora to claim rights for non-citizen migrant workers under the international
human rights framework. The article underscores the role of litigation
by activists who, citing international norms and conventions, claim that
protections provided by domestic constitutional provisions and labor laws
should be extended to non-citizen migrants. The importance of judges’
willingness to recognize the international law framework is also underscored.
This article contributes to human rights studies by emphasizing
the transformative role of judicial agency in the fight for the extension of
human rights protections.
