The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 82
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [Regarding the legal and normative framework, the Special Rapporteur is of the view that:] • As the International Conference on Population and Development (1994) identified migration as a consequence of significant global economic transformations, the Special Rapporteur is particularly concerned by the fact that half of the world’s out-of-school children — 39 million — live in conflict-affected areas. Moreover, as 80 per cent of all refugees are hosted by countries of the developing world, which figure shows that a disproportionate burden is carried by those least able to afford it, increased international cooperation and sharing of responsibility is required, as called for in the International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Dakar Framework for Action adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2000. As underdevelopment is a “principal root cause” of migration, helping Governments to realize the right to development becomes imperative.
