A/HRC/14/30 rights as well as on housing and operates a building to house hotel workers during the hotel season. VII. Conclusions and recommendations 70. In conclusion, the realization of the rights to health and adequate housing plays a crucial role in the integration of migrants in host societies. Obstructing and limiting access to services, institutions and goods that give effect to such fundamental rights represents not only violations of migrants’ human rights, but also obstacles to migrants’ inclusion and their active participation in the host States. In the view of the Special Rapporteur, such denial of human rights carries significant costs not only to migrants and their home countries, but also to host countries, including social disintegration and public health dangers. Despite progress made as a result of a number of encouraging good practices, the Special Rapporteur considers that many challenges lie ahead and wishes to make the following recommendations. 71. As a matter of fundamental principle, States should fulfil the “minimum core obligation” to ensure the satisfaction of minimum essential levels of primary health care as well as basic shelter and housing for all individuals within their jurisdiction,95 regardless of their citizenship, nationality or immigration status, including migrants, migrants in irregular situations, migrant children and women. In times of severe resource constraints, the vulnerable members of society must be protected by the adoption of relatively low-cost targeted programmes. 72. States should expressly recognize in laws the rights to health and adequate housing for all individuals, regardless of their nationality or immigration status. Particular attention should be paid to removing laws which have a disproportionately negative impact on the enjoyment of these rights, such as the criminalization of irregular migration and the “obligation to denounce”. States should also strengthen legal frameworks to guarantee access to justice regardless of immigration status. 73. States should collect disaggregated data and develop indicators on access to the rights to health and adequate housing by all individuals, paying particular attention to vulnerable groups such as migrants in irregular situations, migrant children and women. The indicators should form the basis of rights-based interventions designed to promote access to the rights to health and adequate housing by all. 74. As newly-arrived migrants may encounter practical difficulties in obtaining information which enables them to meaningfully exercise their rights, States should provide free information and advice on relevant laws, policies and regulations and local practice as well as language training for migrants who do not speak the language of the host States. 75. States should also consider and develop policies on the regularization and integration of migrants in irregular situations in order to reflect their contributions to the host societies and to provide better protection of their rights, including those to health and adequate housing. 95 GE.10-12615 Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, general comment No. 3, para. 10. 19
