Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 39
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Committee considers that administrative detention of migrant workers should, as a rule, take place in public establishments. Privately run migrant detention centres pose particular difficulties in terms of monitoring. States parties cannot absolve themselves of their human rights obligations by contracting out the detention of persons to private commercial enterprises. If States parties delegate such functions to private companies, they must ensure respect for the rights of detained migrant workers, as provided for under article 17 of the Convention. States parties must ensure that detention centre personnel are trained in human rights, cultural sensitivity, and age and gender considerations.
