The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Mobility and diversity are already and will increasingly be the hallmark of contemporary societies, especially in dynamic urban areas which welcome most of the world’s migration. Often at opposite ends of the social spectrum, the arts community and the business community know that diversity and mobility contribute to the dissemination of creativity, innovation, ideas and know-how and to wealth production.

- The Special Rapporteur believes it is promising that the proponents of general exception clauses have been geographically and economically diverse. Several countries from Asia and the Pacific and South America have included general exception clauses in trade agreements. General exception clauses also appear in the treaty programmes of Canada, Mauritius and Turkey, as well as in multilateral agreements such as the Investment Agreement for COMESA.

Paragraph
The impact of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements on the human rights of migrants 2016, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- A recent shift towards incorporating mobility in framework agreements, memorandums of understanding and declarations of mutual cooperation has resulted in States treating labour mobility agreements as informal and non-binding. In Asia, almost 70 per cent of labour mobility arrangements employ the informal framework provided by memorandums of understanding, compared with 3040 per cent in Africa, Europe and the Americas.

Paragraph
The impact of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements on the human rights of migrants 2016, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- There must also be greater balance between the protections afforded States and investors and all other persons in the jurisdiction of trade parties. Rule of law and judicial oversight are compromised when investors can bypass the exhaustion of national remedies before seeking relief in supra-national tribunals, for example in investor-State dispute settlement tribunals. While investor-State dispute settlement provisions are included in trade and investment agreements throughout the world, 60 per cent of all cases in 2014 were brought against developing countries and countries with economies in transition. Although more cases are progressively being filed against developed countries, investors in capital-exporting countries have filed more than 80 per cent of all investor-State dispute settlement claims. There is no ceiling on the tribunal's compensation awards, and decisions are binding without appeal. As a result, the investor-State dispute settlement process has also had an undeniably chilling effect on the enforcement of rights, as States are less likely to rule in favour of the public if they are required to pay exorbitant fees as settlements. Remedies have also been disproportionately skewed in favour of high-income countries (see A/70/301).

- Paragraph text
- With global discussions on trade stalled at WTO, there has been a marked surge in the number of regional and preferential trade agreements. By 2013, the number of such agreements had more than quadrupled, with all WTO members being a party to at least one preferential trade agreement. As of 1 February 2016, WTO had received 625 notifications of regional trade agreements, of which 425 are currently in force.

- International trade is the exchange of goods or services between nations. The foundation of international trade law is established by international treaties and agreements, the domestic laws of a State party to a trade agreement, and case law on the resolution of trade disputes between States. Trade agreements may consist of bilateral and plurilateral arrangements or multilateral arrangements, and recent agreements have included chapters or protocols on investment.

- In addition, the IOM human rights framework and independence would be reinforced if predictable core funding were made available. Currently, more than 98 per cent of IOM funding is in the form of voluntary contributions for earmarked projects. Therefore, donor States have an important role in determining the organization's work and priorities. Core funding would allow IOM to initiate projects according to its own priorities, rather than mostly implementing donor-driven undertakings.
