A/75/183 Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Felipe González Morales Ending immigration detention of children and providing adequate care and reception for them Summary The present report outlines the main activities undertaken by the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Felipe González Morales, during the reporting period since his most recent report to the General Assembly. In the report, the Special Rapporteur examines the international legal framework protecting the human rights of migrant children. He reviews the impact of immigration detention on children and existing alternative care and reception solutions. On the basis of information and analysis provided by States, civil society, national human rights institutions and other stakeholders, the Special Rapporteur identifies good practices and concludes that the immigration detention of children is effectively avoidable. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Member States shift away from a focus on enforcement and coercion towards providing human rights-based alternative care and reception for all migrant children and their families. 2/23 20-09734
