Climate change and migration 2012, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- Second, arid areas, such as the African Sahel and other dry regions in Central America, Africa and Asia, are vulnerable to increases in temperature and changes in precipitation patterns. In many places deserts are expanding, and regions that were barely habitable will become uninhabitable. Studies have shown that local populations have long coped with difficult environmental conditions through migratory strategies: seasonal migration to towns (African Sahel) or pastoralism (Somalia). In such circumstances, desertification triggers adaptive changes in those migratory strategies.

Paragraph
Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- In relation to domestic workers, labour inspections are particularly challenging, as private households are usually off-limits for the inspectors and domestic workers are highly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The Special Rapporteur believes labour inspections inside private households, as well as regular meetings between domestic workers and a labour inspector outside the household, would be important to combat the too-frequent abuse of domestic workers: privacy is as important for the domestic worker as it is important for her employer.

Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- Ensure that all workers receive a contract in a language they understand, and that they are protected against contract substitution. Ensure that the contract signed by the worker in their home country is respected in the destination country, and that the work they perform is in accordance with their contract. Bilateral agreements between countries of origin and destination should strengthen human rights protection, and include a model contract which sets out the rights of the worker, including working conditions, and salary. Use certified recruitment agencies, and ensure that they do not work with non-registered sub-agencies.

The impact of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements on the human rights of migrants 2016, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur is pleased that the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement includes binding provisions allowing any person residing in either country to submit a written inquiry to the national authorities and obliging the Governments to make the questions and responses public.

- Paragraph text
- Third, if current greenhouse gas emission trends continue, small-island, low-lying developing States, such as Tuvalu, the Maldives and Kiribati, may be lost to sea level rise, rendering their inhabitants stateless. Some countries, including Tuvalu, are already negotiating agreements with their neighbours to relocate their populations. Other States such as the Maldives have started saving to buy land for its population in the future.

Paragraph
Climate change and migration 2012, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- To respond appropriately to the situations of climate-change-induced migration, engagement is necessary at all levels of governance. Moreover, policy responses to the multiple impacts of climate change need to be developed simultaneously. Short-term response might be largely humanitarian, in the context of both sudden, climate-related disasters and that of slower impacts, such as food and water insecurity and access to other basic rights. However, such approaches need to be supplemented by medium- and long-term responses. Medium-term responses should focus on adaptation at the community and country levels, building resilience in populations at risk from environmental deterioration and the efficient use of technologies to better depend on the natural changing of the environment. Policy development and programming also need to be factored in. Long-term policies require international engagement in the limitation of greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit the pace of global warming.

Regional study: management of the European Union external border and the impact on the human rights of migrants 2013, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- One key way in which the European Union has promoted the externalization of border control has been through assisting with capacity-building for foreign agents responsible for border control. The Special Rapporteur heard of numerous programmes supported by the European Union for improving cooperation and training for coastguards, border guards and other government officials in countries of transit and of origin responsible for border control.

The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- States must increase their search and rescue capacity and refrain from pushbacks at land and sea borders. The militarization of border control creates unnecessary suffering and leads to violations of human rights and humanitarian law at borders. States need to develop procedures, guidelines or systems for ensuring that search and rescue is implemented as a paramount objective, taking into account what should be done with those who are rescued.
