The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- States must increase their search and rescue capacity and refrain from pushbacks at land and sea borders. The militarization of border control creates unnecessary suffering and leads to violations of human rights and humanitarian law at borders. States need to develop procedures, guidelines or systems for ensuring that search and rescue is implemented as a paramount objective, taking into account what should be done with those who are rescued.

Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- Ensure that all workers receive a contract in a language they understand, and that they are protected against contract substitution. Ensure that the contract signed by the worker in their home country is respected in the destination country, and that the work they perform is in accordance with their contract. Bilateral agreements between countries of origin and destination should strengthen human rights protection, and include a model contract which sets out the rights of the worker, including working conditions, and salary. Use certified recruitment agencies, and ensure that they do not work with non-registered sub-agencies.
