Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 88
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur stresses that, upon arrival, all irregular migrants should have proper individual assessments carried out for all their human rights protection needs, and not only for those who are manifestly refugees and victims of trafficking: children, families with children, pregnant women, persons with disabilities or illnesses and elderly migrants also have need of protection. Quick screening processes should not increase the risk of refoulement for those needing protection.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
