A/58/275 78. The Special Rapporteur encourages strengthened follow-up to the recommendations of special procedures and treaty bodies concerning the human rights of migrants at the national and international levels. She welcomes the discussions initiated by OHCHR in this regard as follow-up to the Secretary-General’s agenda for further change (see A/57/387). 79. The Special Rapporteur believes that in the context of strengthened cooperation, efforts should be undertaken to develop guidelines and tools to assess migration policies in the context of existing international human rights norms. Such tools should serve as a basis for the provision of advisory services and technical cooperation for capacity-building and for enhanced international dialogue and cooperation for the development of a human rights-based approach to migration. All relevant United Nations agencies and departments and international organizations should be involved in such efforts. 80. The Special Rapporteur recommends increased international assistance for wider adherence to, and implementation of, existing international instruments for the protection of the human rights of migrants. In this connection, the entry into force on 1 July 2003 of the International Convention for the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families is a great advance towards the establishment of a comprehensive international legal framework for the protection of the human rights of all migrant workers. The Special Rapporteur recommends strengthened efforts on the part of the international community for the promotion of its implementation and its application, including by studying the obstacles to its ratification. 81. The Special Rapporteur also encourages strengthened international cooperation and dialogue for the implementation of the Durban Declaration and Plan of Action adopted by the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, and the fostering of a positive image of migration and awareness of its positive potential. 82. The Special Rapporteur recommends further study of the causes of trafficking and smuggling. She also encourages OHCHR, IOM, ILO and UNIFEM to continue to undertake anti-trafficking activities and activities aimed at protecting the victims of trafficking at the national and regional levels. 83. The Special Rapporteur encourages strengthened cooperation and exchange of information among all human rights mechanisms, including all relevant special procedures of the Commission on Human Rights and treaty bodies, with regard to the situation of migrants. She welcomes in particular the exchange she had with the members of CEDAW. The recommendations, conclusions and observations of treaty bodies and special procedures should be taken into account by Governments, NGOs and international organizations in the formulation and implementation of activities, policies and programmes; they should also serve as a tool for monitoring the follow-up and progress made in the field of the promotion and protection of the human rights of migrants. 84. The present report contains specific recommendations to promote and protect the human rights of migrants throughout the migration process. The Special Rapporteur believes that the subject matter of such recommendations 23
