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.

Paragraph
Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- A goal on equality should be broad, not only focusing on income disparities, but also identifying key dimensions of economic and social inequality, including in terms of participation and access to essential services such as health, education and social protection. This should be framed with reference to the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of all. In addition, targets and indicators relating to employment and fiscal or redistributive policies must be included under this goal and structural determinants of inequality should also be addressed.

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. 64
- Paragraph text
- The growing importance of the study of political participation in the last 50 years reflects the crucial significance of citizens' involvement for democratic decision-making. As the scope of government activities and responsibilities has expanded in the last few decades, the domain of political participation has grown considerably. First, political participation refers to inhabitants in their role as citizens (and not, for instance, as politicians or civil servants). Second, the activities of citizens defined as political participation should be voluntary and not be ordered or obliged under law. Finally, political participation concerns government and politics in a broad sense of these words ("political system") and is neither restricted to specific phases (such as parliamentary decision making, or the "input" side of the political system), nor to specific levels or areas (such as national elections or contacts with officials).
