Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 48
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Considering that migrant workers deprived of their liberty are in a particularly vulnerable situation due to their predicament and the uncertainty of the circumstances, the Committee is convinced of the importance of independent monitoring in preventing torture and other forms of ill-treatment and abuse. National human rights institutions, relevant civil society actors, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights should have broad access to all places of detention where migrants are or may be detained.
