Conclusion

Human Rights Watch believes that Ecuador continues to fail to “provide internationally recognized worker rights,” as required by the ATPDEA, and has not taken meaningful “steps to afford internationally recognized worker rights,” as required by the ATPA.   Ecuador, therefore, continues to fail to meet ATPA and ATPDEA eligibility criteria.  As we have repeatedly stated, we believe that this continued failure should result in total or partial suspension of Ecuador’s ATPA and ATPDEA benefits.
