The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 72
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur reminds States that their education systems should conform to the obligations set forth in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the objectives of the Education for All programme. Critically, these systems must also be able to respect and promote diversity on the basis of a global understanding of human needs. Similarly, the Special Rapporteur acknowledges that human rights law “does not sufficiently address the question of binding obligations of States to take positive measures” and “it is largely unclear which distinctions between migrants and the citizens are admissible and which are not”.
