A/HRC/26/35 appropriate redress. Migrants who have filed cases against abusive employers should be allowed to remain in the country, and be given necessary assistance to take part in the trial against their employer and obtain justice. They should be provided with temporary immigration status that allows them to live in dignity until the case is resolved, including shelter – not detention – and food when needed. 101. Strengthen labour inspection services, with respect to monitoring, as well as receiving, investigating and addressing complaints. Labour inspectors should be accompanied by interpreters in languages spoken by the migrants. Labour inspectors should be instructed not to share data concerning the migration status of migrants with immigration authorities, and rather focus on labour exploitation committed by employers. 102. Effectively implement employer sanctions and ensure that all abuses, including ill-treatment and exploitation are investigated and properly sanctioned where appropriate. Every employer and recruitment agent who engages in fraud or deception or is responsible for any other form of exploitation of migrant workers should be brought promptly to justice, including through criminal prosecutions, and be prevented from employing/recruiting migrant workers in the future. 103. Implement “firewalls” between immigration enforcement and public services such as police, health care and education, in order to make sure that irregular migrant workers enjoy their civil, economic, social and cultural rights without fear of being identified, arrested, detained and deported. 104. Train judges, lawyers, law enforcement and immigration enforcement officers and ensure their sensitivity to the human rights of migrants, whatever their status, and the dignity owed to them. 105. Ensure that migrants have access to justice after returning to their home country, including the possibility to claim unpaid wages. 106. Empower migrants, whatever their status, to defend their own human rights without fear of retribution, provide them with appropriate normative, institutional and programmatic tools in that regard, and support them in their fight against abuse and exploitation. 21
