A/HRC/26/35/Add.1 110. Provide the Ministry of Labour with more resources in order to enable it to deal more effectively with certification of contracts, labour inspections and labour complaints. D. Domestic workers 111. Adopt legislation on domestic workers that includes protection of labour rights, including in relation to working hours, overtime, a minimum wage, working conditions and annual leave, and effective compliance mechanisms. 112. Establish a minimum wage for domestic workers, which should apply to all workers, regardless of their nationality. 113. Ensure that domestic workers’ passports are not confiscated by their employers. 114. Blacklist employers who exploit domestic workers. 115. Undertake labour inspections in private homes to inspect the working conditions of domestic workers. E. Access to remedy for human rights violations 116. Provide migrants with information about their rights and how to access them. This could be done, inter alia, by disseminating the Workers’ Rights Book of the National Human Rights Committee, both in migrant-sending countries and in Qatar. 117. Effectively investigate and prosecute offences under the Labour Law and the Sponsorship Law and ensure effective access to complaint mechanisms. This could be done by creating one extensive complaint mechanism on violations of labour and human rights, including in relation to recruitment, sponsorship, residence permits, contracts, working conditions, living conditions, wages and other labour disputes. This mechanism should be easy to access, with interpretation provided and no fees charged. 118. Ensure that migrants are not required to pay fees to file a case with the labour court and ensure easy access without fear of reprisals and speedy processing of court cases filed by migrants. Access to interpreters and legal aid should be guaranteed. 119. Ensure that detained migrants are able to appear in court. 120. Pursue the establishment of a tribunal to solve labour disputes, which should be easy to access, with information provided in the languages spoken by the migrants, with interpreters, legal aid, no fees and quick settlement of disputes and enforcement of decisions. F. Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 121. Refrain from detaining individuals for the sole reason of having absconded from their employer. End the systematic detention of migrants awaiting deportation and always explore alternatives to detention. Detention should be a measure of last resort, limited to those cases where there is a risk of a migrant absconding from future proceedings, or when the person poses a threat to his or her own or public security, and its duration should be limited to the minimum time necessary. A maximum time limit should be established by law. 20
