Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights
of migrants
Summary
The present report outlines the main activities undertaken by the Special
Rapporteur of the Human Rights Council on the human rights of migrants during the
reporting period since his most recent report to the General Assembly.
The thematic section of the report outlines proposals for the development of the
global compact on migration, with a view, in particular, to ensuring that human rights
are effectively included and mainstreamed therein. The report underlines the
importance of taking a long-term strategic approach to developing the global
compact for accessible, regular, safe and affordable mobility policies and practices
that will place States in a better position to respond to the significant demographic,
economic, social, political and cultural challenges that lie ahead.
