Consider seeking technical assistance from the International Labour Organization and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to support the wholesale transition to an ethical recruitment system, in line with core international human rights and labour standards Access to justice • Remove barriers to access to justice, ensuring that migrants can effectively — and not simply on paper — access a legal remedy for violations of their rights in the context of recruitment practices and labour migration • Access to justice should primarily be through judicial and quasi-judicial means and should not be reliant only on voluntary or private forms of remedy, which often do not provide adequate compensation to migrants or effectively punish rights violators • Strengthen the capacity of the independent judiciary to provide access to justice for migrant workers who have been exploited by recruiters and punish perpetrators in such a way that creates real and lasting disincentives for the mistreatment of migrants • Consider the development of specialist tribunals to ensure access to justice for migrant workers. Such specialist provisions would allow for the individual needs of migrants to be met, and for the development of a systemic view of rights violations related to labour migration and recruiters • Involve other actors that are important for ensuring an effective access to justice for all migrant workers, such as: labour inspectors, social workers, national human rights institutions, ombudspersons, unions, among others • Make easily available all the services necessary for ensuring effective access to justice for all migrant workers, such as legal aid, interpretation and translation services, information about rights and available remedies, as well as humanitarian visas to return to destination countries to testify and otherwise pursue justice. Bilateral agreements between countries of origin and destination should address the provision of such services • Support unionization and a realization of the rights to free of association and assembly, as a way to empower migrants and allow them to access justice • Develop effective and accessible mechanisms for migrants to recover improper recruitment fees from employers and recruiters Empowering migrants through information and support • Make the ratings of recruitment agencies, including information about blacklisted agencies, available to all migrant workers.
