International instruments and international practice regarding the international labor regulation

The research examines the main international instruments that regulate the labor migration issues, in particular the ILO Conventions on the discrimination against labor migrants and the protection of their rights. At the same time, the author analyzes the Russian legislation in comparison with the international acts as well as the legislation of countries which have considerable experience in the legal regulation of labor migration. The relevance of the study is determined by the final draft of a global treaty on labor migration aimed at containing illegal migration and adopted by the UN General Assembly in summer of 2018. Having analyzed the legislation of France, Germany, the USA, China and the basic leading countries in the field of labor migration, the author concludes that there are the relationships between the legal regulation of migration processes with the labor market situation and the need to protect the national interests of the country.
