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.

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.
