Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 87a
- Paragraph text
- [Durable solutions constitute the ultimate form of protection for internally displaced persons. At the same time, the Representative sees some of the greatest problems in this area. Short-sighted political calculations often create protracted displacement situations, which are particularly difficult to transform into durable solutions. Despite some advances, donors and development actors are still not providing enough support for durable solutions, especially crucial investments in early recovery. The Representative recommends that member States:] Reinvigorate processes to resolve ongoing or frozen conflicts, while allowing the internally displaced to normalize their living situation as far as possible;

The ability to work closely with institutions and non-governmental organizations outside the United Nations system has also reinforced the capacity of the Representative to carry out the responsibilities of the mandate.

Impact of the criminalization of migration on the protection and enjoyment of human rights 2010, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- In the Special Rapporteur's view, the international community has created an important momentum for enhanced international cooperation in addressing the multifaceted issues raised by the international movement of people, as advocated by the Secretary-General in his report on international migration and development in 2005. In his view, it is imperative that human rights are fully incorporated in all migration-related processes and that a rights-based approach to migration features prominently at the policy and decision-making levels on migration governance-related issues. In light of the foregoing, the Special Rapporteur wishes to put forth a number of general recommendations for further consideration and action.

Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 2012, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur would like to remind Governments that alternatives to detention should not become alternatives to unconditional release, whenever such release is a possibility. Governments should put in place safeguards to ensure that those eligible for release without conditions are not diverted into alternative measures. Alternatives to detention should have a human rights-based approach, be established by law, be non-discriminatory and be subject to judicial review and independent monitoring and evaluation. In designing alternatives to detention, Governments should pay attention to the specific situation of particular groups of migrants, such as children, pregnant women and persons with disabilities, and use the least intrusive measure possible.

Recruitment practices and the human rights of migrants 2015, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- A complex network of actors is involved in the current system of recruitment for low-wage economic migrants, including: many different components of the State architecture in countries of origin and destination, recruiters themselves, subcontractors of recruiters, employers, direct contractors of employers that use migrant workers, parent companies and other business entities further up the supply chain, domestic households, trade unions, business associations, civil society organizations, workers themselves, friends and families of migrants, and regional and international organizations. The complexity of the network of all those involved, and the opaque and underground way in which unethical recruitment takes place, makes it difficult to fully understand the system and to develop clear accountability for the rights of migrants.
