A/HRC/10/46 page 5 Syrian Arab Republic and El Salvador. When considering reports of States parties, and in particular in its concluding observations, the Committee recommended that States parties take the necessary measures, including legislative amendments, to ensure that migrant workers and members of their families can enjoy economic, social and cultural rights and notably the right to form and join trade unions. Further, the Committee expressed concern about the situation of children of migrant families, and recommended that States parties carry out comprehensive studies regarding their situation in order to develop adequate strategies to ensure their protection and the full enjoyment of their rights, including the right to education and other economic, social and cultural rights. In its review of States parties’ reports, the Committee also called upon States parties to ensure the equal treatment of migrant workers, particularly migrant women, in agriculture and domestic employment. To this purpose, the Committee urged for an effective monitoring of the employment conditions of migrant workers in agriculture and domestic employment. The issue of seasonal workers’ enjoyment of the right to the same treatment as national workers, particularly with respect to remuneration and conditions of work, was also highlighted. In this regard, the Committee asked States parties to ensure systematic monitoring, by the relevant authorities, of compliance with international standards. II. ACTIVITIES OF SPECIAL PROCEDURES 12.
