While the Philippines assecond largest labor-exporter has recently ratified the convention, Indonesia as one of thelargest migrants sender has signed but not yet ratified it. This paper is trying to scrutinize bothtechnical and inclusive obstacles for the Indonesian government of no t yet ratified theConvention, and also probing the raison d'être of the Philippines, as the first ASEAN(Association of South East Asian Nations) country to ratify the convention.
