The article examines the impact of a human rights approach on the terminology applicable in international legal acts on the protection of migrants’ rights. Features of the texts of regulatory legal acts are considered within the cognitive-discursive paradigm. Based on the analysis of the English-language documents of UN human rights bodies, the article studies how the functions of legal discourse are realized through the terminology used.
