Other States such as the Maldives have started saving to buy land for its population in the future. |

Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 63 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | 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. |

Climate change and migration 2012, para. 42 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | 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. |

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. |

Climate change and migration 2012, para. 70 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | 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. |
