A/HRC/35/25 82. The global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration offers an opportunity for better migration governance that enables States to develop clear, long-term and evidence-based migration policies ensuring full protection of the human rights of all migrants. 83. The Special Rapporteur considers the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration, which is to be presented for adoption in 2018, as the beginning of a long-term, 15-year agenda, complementary to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and aimed primarily at implementing targets 10.7 and 8.8 of the Sustainable Development Goals. The objective is to provide States with short-, medium- and long-term achievable goals and targets aimed at facilitating migration and mobility and protecting the human and labour rights of migrants, as requested in the 2030 Agenda. 84. The long-term strategy would start in 2020, which could be designated as the “International year for safe, orderly and regular migration for all”. The strategy could be called the “2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility”. The Special Rapporteur recommends the adoption of eight practical and achievable goals, with appropriate targets and indicators, as his contribution to the 2035 agenda. He acknowledges that these goals and targets could be further refined and must be developed in full recognition of the challenges that States are facing in their endeavour to establish a global framework for rights-based global migration governance. 85. The Special Rapporteur recommends a consultative process led by the United Nations to further develop goals and targets. Such a process would include the participation of experts, the business community, civil society organizations and migrants themselves. It would build upon the principles and guidelines, supported by practical guidance, on the human rights protection of migrants in vulnerable situations within large and/or mixed movements developed by the Global Migration Group. The guidance could form an important starting point for the development of goals and targets, given that it is derived from existing obligations under international law and is aimed at assisting States and other stakeholders with regard to the refinement, strengthening, implementation and monitoring of measures to protect migrants in vulnerable situations. 86. The Special Rapporteur proposes that States also develop inclusive processes so as to allow for national consultations that foster better understanding of and adaptation to each goal, target and indicator, according to national contexts, taking into account and carrying the voice of migrants in particular. 87. A longer-term strategy will require long-term investment in order to ensure the effective implementation and monitoring of all eight goals. The implementation of such an agenda within the framework of the United Nations would require the existing bilateral, regional and global cooperation mechanisms to be strengthened. This would ensure accountability, monitoring and oversight, while creating a clear link to the formal normative monitoring mechanisms established within the United Nations. 23
