E/CN.4/2004/76 page 19 84. The Special Rapporteur wishes to stress the importance of ensuring that every migrant domestic worker has the possibility and the right to visit his or her family. To that end, she recommends that contracts should provide for the right to vacations and that agreements regulating workers’ entry and stay in the country of destination should allow them to leave the country and return to it through the issuance of multiple-entry visas. The Special Rapporteur views as good practice the existence of public and private programmes to facilitate communication by migrant domestic workers with their families by means including the Internet and special telephone tariffs. 85. The Special Rapporteur underlines the need to ensure that reliable registers are kept of migrant domestic workers. To that end, she urges States of origin and of destination to develop computerized systems for the registration of such workers. The registers should include details such as employers’ names and addresses. 86. The Special Rapporteur recommends that, in the event of administrative or judicial proceedings against migrant domestic workers, legislation should ensure that all rights and due process are respected. In that connection, she refers to the recommendations made in her report to the Commission on Human Rights at its fifty-ninth session.26 87. The Special Rapporteur recommends that consulates and embassies should play an active role in protecting the rights of migrant domestic workers, by means including regular checks on their circumstances. The Special Rapporteur considers that it is good practice for consulates to provide shelter to women fleeing from abusive employers and provide them with assistance in proceedings against the former. When migrant domestic workers cannot claim their rights in court, the Special Rapporteur considers it good practice for consulates to help mediate between the parties through contacts with the ministries and departments concerned. 88. The Special Rapporteur considers it good practice for countries of destination to set up free telephone lines or services where migrant domestic workers can seek advice and guidance or submit complaints, and to organize training courses for them. 89. The Special Rapporteur recommends that countries of destination run campaigns to create awareness of the important contribution made by migrant domestic workers, encourage respect for their rights and combat discrimination. She also recommends public policies that foster respect for such workers and their rights. 90. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the international organizations, embassies and consulates should adopt codes of conduct on the recruitment of migrant domestic workers and require their staff to abide by the code, taking disciplinary action in the event of violations. 91. The Special Rapporteur recommends international cooperation to enable States with scarce resources to implement the recommendations above.
