A/HRC/35/25 C. 2035 agenda: a long-term strategy 34. In order to respond to the complexity of human mobility, as explained above, States are required to develop a long-term strategic vision of what their mobility policies will look like in a generation from now, with precise timelines and accountability benchmarks. Such a long-term vision is similar to the strategic planning of States for policies on energy, environment, trade, food security, public transit, infrastructure and industries, in order to determine the investments needed to achieve the objectives. 35. The Special Rapporteur suggests that States should also develop such a vision for migration policies. The timeline for migration policies always seems to be based on the now, with States focusing on “stopping migration now”, “sending back migrants now” or “bringing in technicians or low-skilled migrant workers now”. The Special Rapporteur proposes a more considered, fact-based response to push and pull factors with a 15-year vision for how mobility could be effectively governed, which would allow States to take well-planned action in response to a so-called crisis. 36. The first step in changing the collective mindset is to accept that migrants will come and go no matter what because of push and pull factors, which, on the whole, are not adequately addressed. Facilitating increased mobility and matching skills to labour needs, as in an accessible, regular, safe and affordable labour market, with appropriate visa systems and security controls, would ensure that most migrants would use regular mobility channels. 37. Solutions to human mobility needs can be developed along two major axes, as outlined by the Special Rapporteur in previous reports: (a) Developing refugee settlement programmes to serve more refugees than the current 1 per cent. Private sponsorship of refugees should be included in these programmes, because it progressively builds a constituency of nationals who are in favour of welcoming refugees; (b) Recognizing real labour needs and opening up considerably more visa opportunities or visa-free travel programmes for migrant workers at all skill levels. With appropriate selection and organization, the numbers would be entirely manageable. 38. Such facilitated mobility would have obvious advantages, including the fact that it would: (a) Significantly reduce the market for smugglers and unethical recruiters; (b) Enable all security checks by intelligence agencies to be made in a timely manner and mostly in the destination country; (c) Provide the opportunity to show the electorate of destination countries that borders are respected, that authorities are managing migration properly, that employers are integrating migrants into the labour market, that investments have been made in integration programmes and that the fearmongering discourse of nationalist populists is based on stereotypes, myths and fantasies that can be countered by facts. 39. The inclusion of migrants in the Sustainable Development Goals demonstrated that all States without a doubt acknowledged the importance of better-governed mobility. Given that the process is already under way, the Special Rapporteur proposes harnessing the energy of this existing process and developing recommendations on how it can be further developed for migration. 40. With that in mind, the Special Rapporteur proposes developing a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility, which would translate the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development into “bite-sized” and achievable goals, targets and indicators. The 2030 Agenda already refers, in certain Sustainable Development Goals, to the human and labour rights of migrants, including: (a) Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrants, especially women migrants, and those in precarious employment (target 8.8); 8
