This policy, initially taken as temporary solution, now causes long-term negative effects for the stakeholders in both source and destination countries. As a result, insecurity for migrant health professionals and patients destroys the consensus within the body of human rights, sharpening both the controversy between patients rights to health and the professionals rights to freedom of movement and career choice. It also provokes debates on efficient methods of regulation and management of health service provision especially in relation to shortages of health workers. The proposed paper intends to analyse unilateral agreements (codes of practice) and bilateral recruitment agreements (government-to-government cooperation) as policy instruments elaborated by international organisations (ILO, WHO and IOM) and national states within the framework of ethical recruitment. The paper is primarily focused on the UK experience in ethical recruitment and will investigate the opportunities and limitations of the codes of practice and government-to-government agreements regarding their potential in balancing patients rights vs. health professionals rights. The impact on the target stakeholders patients, health professionals and Nation-States measures the regulatory and protective power of these instruments. The key questions of analysis are: How does the policy of ethical recruitment protect/threaten these groups? Whether new policy introduces protective or restrictive implications? Nation-States benefits from ethical recruitment policy represents particular interest for analysis regarding the changing architecture of global health governance.  !,[\|    @ P y ƻưrarPr?!hIhQ@B*OJQJph!hIhLJ@B*OJQJph!hIhZV@B*OJQJph!hIhQ@B*OJQJphhIhLJB*OJQJphhIhQB*OJQJphhIhQB*OJQJph hIhQOJQJhIhIOJQJhIhI5OJQJhI5OJQJhIh1l5OJQJhIh b'5OJQJhIhV5OJQJ+ $$dh`a$gdLJ$dh`a$gdD$dh`a$gdN$dh`a$gdZV $dha$gdQ$a$gdLJ$a$gdI    ( ) 6 7 G p q ~ ݻݪݙ݈}rg\r\r\}Q}QrhIhLJOJQJhIht=OJQJhIhcOJQJhIhNOJQJhIhQOJQJ!hIht@B*OJQJph!hIhN@B*OJQJph!hIhLJ@B*OJQJph!hIh1l@B*OJQJph!hIht=@B*OJQJph!hIhQ@B*OJQJph!hIhZV@B*OJQJph  ! 4 6 7 < C D t  c n   = Y ννyncXcXMnhIhOOJQJhIh1lOJQJhIh9OJQJhIh$OOJQJ!hIh$O@B*OJQJph!hIh9@B*OJQJph!hIhc@B*OJQJph!hIhN@B*OJQJph!hIhQ@B*OJQJph!hIh1l@B*OJQJphhIhQOJQJhIhNOJQJhIhLJOJQJ #$JKRVk}"/29CMNY]iɾԨ|qqfhIhJOJQJhIhoEOJQJhIhOOJQJhIhEOJQJhIh9OJQJhIh1lOJQJhIhpOJQJhIhZVOJQJhIh6OJQJhIhOJQJhIhDOJQJhIhNOJQJhIhLJOJQJhIhtOJQJ$,1h.
