1 Immigration (human rights)
Immigration refers to the process of imposing restrictions on migrators by the country. In
order to protect state from illegal activities, certain actions are considered. Various laws are also
implemented for the same (Binford, 2016). For effective implementation of rules and regulation,
UK government has developed a separate unit. That unit is completely dedicated to handle the
process of immigration on the basis of human rights. The process of immigration sometime
violates human rights. Various process of security checking may exploit freedom of individual.
These protection policies involve racist profiling, delimitation killing and so on, which are
against the humanity. In order to protect human rights various conventions are being applied by
the UK government. Through which individual is permitted to enter into the country at least one
time (Blowfield and Murray, 2014).
During that period, no action will be taken. Along with this, various changes are enforced
under Human Rights act. These changes are implemented in order to prohibit the inhuman
activities (Copi, Cohen and McMahon, 2016.). Through applying strict policies against the
illegal immigration, government tries to stop all the illegal and prohibited activities. Along with
this tries to protects the nation in order to make the nation free for all kind of risks. According to
the new Article- 8, human rights are responsibilities for implementing changes in order to
prevent family right of an individual (Human Rights Application. 2017).

with honesty and transparency. The relationship of companies with their employees, stakeholders
and clients should be fair and strong. In order to increase profitability of company all the

3 The IMF + World bank (monetary system)
The term International Monetary Fund (IMF) refer to the organisation. They are working

different approaches (Molyneux and Iqbal, 2016). The major objective of IMF is implementing

electricity and so on. With the help of all these leaving standard of developing countries can be
improved. The IMF and world bank both are providing loans (Preuss, Barkemeyer and Glavas,
2016). Loans provided by IMF are of small and medium range, where world bank is providing

4 Ban the Box (law& the individual)
Ban the Box refer to the international campaign, organised for the right of the employers.
This was held in order to stop unlawful questions that are being asked by the employees. Such as
about their criminal record and initial contact. The main objective was, the organisation should
ask questions about their qualification and experiences, rather than discussing their criminal
history. All the recruitment process consists of positive and real practices in order to make the
candidate comfortable (Webborn, 2015.). This is also known as “Fair Opportunity Law”. With
the help of this law employees of both public and private organisations get affected. This was
supported by 150 countries across the globe.
According to the survey, employees of UK are also suffering from this discrimination.
Therefore, equal opportunities are not being provided to them. Apart fro that various
organisations committed ban into their organisation in order to provide fair chance to deserving
candidate. There are various effects can be notified on as individual. Through this way
employees are being provided with equal opportunities (Weigend and Turner, 2014.). Rejection
and cancellation graph get reduced. More number of employees will be able to job. Only the
legal screening steps are involved in order to recruit candidate. In order to effectively enforce the
law Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is being implemented for making
all the step implemented. All the guidance, rule and regulations are being implemented and
controlled under this law only.
