Paragraph
Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Migrants also play an important role in the global economy. They fill labour shortages, contribute their skills, experience and expertise, send remittances home and open up new markets in destination countries. People migrate in part because there is a demand for their labour in destination countries. In many countries, the competitiveness of several economic sectors, such as agriculture, construction, hospitality, care-giving, fishing and extraction, rests on using what may be termed "cheap labour". Given that there are few legal migration channels, however, in particular for low-skilled workers, many migrants find themselves in an irregular situation, working in precarious conditions and exploited by recruiters, employers, smugglers and traffickers (see A/HRC/26/35). The International Labour Organization estimates that forced labour generates $150 billion per year. Many of the victims of forced labour are migrants who leave their country of origin owing to the unrecognized needs in the labour markets in destination countries, given that migrants are often willing to do the dirty, difficult and dangerous jobs that nationals will not, at the exploitative wages and labour conditions that unscrupulous employers will offer.

Paragraph
Regional study: management of the European Union external border and the impact on the human rights of migrants 2013, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- At the outset, the Special Rapporteur recalls his doubt that detention is ever an effective deterrent for irregular migration, and that in order not to violate international human rights law, detention must be must be prescribed by law and necessary, reasonable and proportional to the objectives to be achieved. However, in the context of his country visits and his research, the Special Rapporteur has observed that, within the discourse of securitization of migration and border control, the systematic detention of irregular migrants has come to be viewed as a legitimate tool in the context of European Union migration management, despite the lack of any evidence that detention serves as a deterrent. Indeed, a notable increase in the use of immigration detention as a tool for European Union border control over the past 10 years corresponds to the development of European Union migration law in this area. In some senses, the harmonization of European Union law, and in particular the passing of the Return Directive, can be said to have institutionalized detention within the European Union as a viable tool in migration management.

Paragraph
Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- Over the last few years, there has been an upsurge of interest in the likely impact of climate change on population movements. Estimates have suggested that between 25 million and one billion people could be displaced by climate change over the next 40 years. These figures represent the number of people exposed to the risk of climate change in certain parts of the world and do not take account of the measures that could be taken to adapt to these changes. Despite the lack of precise figures, there is now little doubt that parts of the planet are now becoming less habitable due to factors such as climate change, deterioration of agricultural lands, desertification, and water pollution. The number of natural disasters has more than doubled over the last two decades, and more than 20 million people were displaced by sudden-onset climate-related natural disasters in 2008. Further climate change, with global temperatures expected to rise between 2 and 5 degrees centigrade by the end of this century, could have a major impact on the movement of people.

Paragraph
Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 14
- Paragraph text
- For decades, many States have responded to persistent irregular migration by intensifying border controls. These measures have often been targeted at wide geographic areas on the borders or coast of a main receiving country or region. In recent years, in an effort to further curb irregular migration and simultaneously address issues of national security, some States were seen as employing techniques in order to "externalize" border controls to countries of origin and transit, whereby utilizing bilateral agreements and/or aid in order to transform these targeted countries into a potential buffer zone to reduce migratory pressures on receiving States. The concern was that these policies, while legitimately aimed at reducing irregular migration, and often incorporated into bilateral agreements that can have positive aspects, have contributed to the criminalization of irregular migration insofar as they treat migration violations as a criminal rather than administrative offence without the proper human rights protections afforded to migrants in the process.
