Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 89
- Paragraph text
- States should ensure that evictions are carried out only in exceptional circumstances and in accordance with international human rights law. Affected individuals should be fully consulted and informed in advance of any planned evictions in languages they understand, and should be provided with alternative accommodation and compensation, and due process rights. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur encourages States to refer to the Basic Principles and Guidelines on Development-Based Evictions and Displacement formulated by the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing (A/HRC/4/18, annex).

- Moreover, such an approach will only serve to fuel xenophobia, discrimination and marginalization of migrants, which may have the effect of enabling a culture of impunity around the violation of migrants' rights, and cement an anti-migration attitude, as well as contributing towards the rise of verbal and physical violence against migrants, as is presently being experienced in Greece.

Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- States should develop a comprehensive national housing strategy taking into account the needs and circumstances of migrants, who are often vulnerable to homelessness. Through the housing strategy States should seek to address underlying factors which dictate people's access to housing, such as low socio-economic status, gender, age and ethnicity. The strategy should also encompass a regular monitoring system for housing situations of migrants, both in public and private sectors, to identify and address any discriminatory practices.

Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- With regards to communities of migrant origin, the Special Rapporteur recalls that these communities include citizens as well as non-citizen residents, whatever their legal status in the country might be (i.e. regular or not). The political integration of these persons of migrant origin depends not only on their individual rights, but also on opportunities and incentives for their participation in political life. Access to political rights through admission to citizenship or through extending the franchise to noncitizens would not alleviate the problematic if the new citizens have lower voting rates in elections and are strongly underrepresented in public offices, parliaments and political parties.

Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 2012, para. 62
- Paragraph text
- Designated residence usually entails either housing persons in communal houses and apartments, or directing them to live in a certain region or district within the country. Prior approval may be needed to change address or move out of the administrative region. This measure is sometimes used to share the "burden" of receiving immigrants between different regions of a given country. Sometimes a designated residence may be in an isolated area, and it is important to ensure that the location of the designated residence allows the persons involved to access health-care services, education and legal assistance, and employment opportunities where appropriate. Furthermore, the use of designated residence may undermine the freedom of movement of the migrants concerned and should therefore be used with caution.

Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has received information indicating that many migrants are not provided with social security benefits. Migrants frequently risk losing entitlement to social security benefits in their home country due to their absence, and at the same time they may encounter restrictive conditions under the social security system of their country of employment. Portability of social security for migrants who wish to return to their home country is also problematic. Social security is particularly difficult to access for irregular migrants. While irregular migrants are often not able to participate in contributory schemes, they still contribute to financing social protection schemes by paying indirect taxes. Also, temporary migrants have difficult access to social security, due to long residency requirements.

Recruitment practices and the human rights of migrants 2015, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- There are a number of different ways that destination countries can support the integration of migrants into society. Facilitating access to justice, without fear of detection, detention or deportation, in order to help migrants fight for their rights, would go a long way towards legitimizing human-rights-based migration policies, by showing that territorial sovereignty and human rights are not incompatible. Ensuring that migrants can access basic social protection services irrespective of their migration status would significantly reduce the precariousness of the migrant situation. Tackling racism and xenophobia through fact-based analyses is another important step towards the integration of migrants in countries of destination. Additionally, offering access to permanent residency and citizenship would not only have a practical impact of increasing the migrants' sense of belonging and security in the country of destination, but would also be a powerful symbolic gesture recognizing the role and value of migrant workers in the development of the country of destination.
