A/HRC/44/42/Add.2 (g) Take the steps necessary to remove all administrative obstacles faced by asylum seekers in registering their claims, including facilitating the registration of addresses and waiving any administrative fees; (h) Improve the working methods of the centres for social assistance and welfare to avoid unnecessary delays in providing unaccompanied or separated children with a guardian and other necessary protection. 75. With regard to the reception conditions for unaccompanied or separated children, the Special Rapporteur is concerned that, although there are designated zones for unaccompanied or separated children in a number of reception facilities, many protection risks remain. The Special Rapporteur calls upon the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to provide appropriate care and accommodation, such as family or community-based care or foster care for unaccompanied children and children who are victims of abuse or exploitation. 76. The Special Rapporteur is concerned about restrictions imposed by the entity, cantonal and local authorities on the freedom of movement of migrants who have expressed their intention to seek asylum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those restrictions are in violation of domestic legislation and relevant international human rights standards. He calls upon the relevant authorities to ensure the right to freedom of movement for migrants, especially asylum seekers, in the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 77. The Special Rapporteur notes with concern the large discrepancy between the maximum capacity for accommodation in reception centres and the estimated number of migrants, including asylum seekers, in the country and that many single men and male minors are sheltered in harsh conditions. Although individuals have various protection needs, no one should be left behind. To that end, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the two official reception centres for refugees and asylum seekers be fully open to migrants based on their protection needs, regardless of their status. In the interim, considering the situation in the region, Bosnia and Herzegovina should work closely with the international community and civil society partners to identify additional locations and increase its reception capacity for migrants, asylum seekers and refugees. 78. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the fact that immigration detention is generally used as a last resort in Bosnia and Herzegovina and that immigration detention is understaffed due to the current migration situation in the country. He urges the competent authorities and monitoring bodies, including the Institution of the Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to conduct regular visits to the immigration detention centre in order to protect migrants deprived of liberty and to prevent any human rights violations against them. B. Recommendations to the United Nations country team 79. The resident coordinator and the United Nations country team should assist with and facilitate the holding of a participatory regional consultation on migration governance to develop a regional strategic plan and find durable regional solutions that ensure the protection of the rights of migrants in the region. 80. The United Nations country team and the office of the resident coordinator are encouraged to raise funds and include in all projects a human rights-based approach to addressing the various protection needs of people on the move. 15
