A/70/310 can be fed back to the national regulation and licensing system, developing bilateral migration agreements grounded in human rights norms, and considering action on recruitment fees to level the playing field are all ways that international and regional cooperation can be used to enact wholesale change towards an ethical system. 64. The regional consultative processes are an example of regional and international cooperation that should be used to further protect the human rights of migrants, as shown by the Colombo Process, which has been advocating a standardized labour contract. These regional forums bring together representatives of States, international organizations and, in some cases, non-governmental organizations for informal and non-binding dialogue and information exchange on migration-related issues of common interest and concern. There has recently been work to extend dialogue between different consultative processes to facilitate more cooperation between countries of origin and destination. E. Empowering migrants 65. Migrants themselves are resourceful agents within the migration process. Through their vast collective numbers, they have the potential to be a powerful asset in the transition to an ethical system. Empowering migrants through information and support can harness this potential and resourcefulness to drive progress towards a system of fair and ethical recruitment. Migrants must understand their rights, and be empowered to make decisions about recruiters based upon robust intelligence about different actors in the market. Information needs to be readily available, in languages that migrants can understand, at every stage of the migration and recruitment process. 66. There are a number of good-practice examples in relation to information sharing among migrant workers, including: • The International Recruitment Integrity System, an international voluntary “ethical recruitment” framework facilitated by the International Organization for Migration, will allow migrants to access recruiters who have been voluntarily accredited according to ethical recruitment standards and to share information about unscrupulous recruiters • Contratados.org is a ratings site, which allows migrants to review recruiters and employers and share experiences of labour recruitment. It currently focuses on low-wage workers from Mexico to the United States of America but there are plans to expand it. F. Integration of migrants in countries of destination 67. Recognizing migrants as rights holders, acknowledging the benefits that they bring to destination countries and facilitating their integration into society is key to instituting a system of fair recruitment for international labour migration. Failing to recognize the huge value of migrant workers and to support their integration legitimizes abuse and exploitation. 68. There are a number of different ways that destination countries can support the integration of migrants into society. Facilitating access to justice, without fear of 16/26 15-13569
