A/RES/60/169
18. Calls upon States to observe national legislation and applicable
international legal instruments to which they are party when enacting national
security measures in order to respect the human rights of migrants;
19. Urges all States to adopt effective measures to put an end to the arbitrary
arrest and detention of migrants and to take action to prevent and punish any form
of illegal deprivation of liberty of migrants by individuals or groups;
20. Also urges all States to employ duly authorized and trained government
officials to enforce their immigration laws and border controls and to take
appropriate and effective measures to deter and prevent private persons or groups
from violating criminal and immigration laws relating to border enforcement and
from wrongfully undertaking actions reserved to government officials, including by
prosecuting those violations of the law that may result from such actions;
21. Requests States to adopt concrete measures to prevent the violation of the
human rights of migrants while in transit, including in ports and airports and at
borders and migration checkpoints, to train public officials who work in those
facilities and in border areas to treat migrants respectfully and in accordance with
the law, and to prosecute, in conformity with applicable law, any act of violation of
the human rights of migrants, inter alia, arbitrary detention, torture and violations of
the right to life, including extrajudicial executions, during their transit from their
country of origin to the country of destination and vice versa, including their transit
through national borders;
22. Calls upon States that have not yet done so to enact domestic legislation
and to take further effective measures to combat and prosecute international
trafficking in and smuggling of migrants, recognizing that these crimes may
endanger the lives of migrants or subject them to harm, servitude or exploitation,
which may include debt bondage, slavery and sexual exploitation or forced labour,
and urges States to strengthen international cooperation to combat such trafficking
and smuggling and to protect the victims of trafficking;
23. Encourages States, in cooperation with non-governmental organizations,
to undertake information campaigns aimed at clarifying opportunities, limitations
and rights in the event of migration, so as to enable everyone, in particular women,
to make informed decisions and to prevent them from becoming victims of
trafficking and utilizing dangerous means of access to countries of transit and
destination that put their lives and physical integrity at risk;
24. Also encourages States to consider participating in international and
regional dialogues on migration that include countries of origin and destination, as
well as countries of transit, and invites them to consider negotiating bilateral and
regional agreements on migrant workers within the framework of applicable human
rights law and designing and implementing programmes with States of other regions
to protect the rights of migrants;
25. Requests Member States, the United Nations system, international
organizations, civil society and all relevant stakeholders, especially the United
Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and her Office, as well as the
Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on the human rights of
migrants, to ensure that the perspective of the human rights of migrants is included
among the priority issues in the ongoing discussions on migration and development
within the United Nations system, including, in particular, at the high-level dialogue
on international migration and development that will be held in 2006, pursuant to
General Assembly resolution 58/208 of 23 December 2003;
