VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS 91. The Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations: (a) In order to allow the Special Rapporteur to carry out her mandate, an inter-agency task force should be established to assist her and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in their work. The objectives of the task force would be: to contribute to research; to provide expert knowledge on how to deal with the topic in order to enhance the work of the Special Rapporteur; to collect and transmit systematically the data and information available on the situation of migrants in various countries; to facilitate the contacts the Special Rapporteur needs to make in order to fulfil her duties; and to help in the preparation of her reports to the Commission; (b) Intersectoral cooperation should be promoted to collect and analyse specific cases to illustrate the emerging categories of migrants without protection; (c) Existing standards and institutional arrangements for the full protection of migrants should be promoted, including the prevention of arbitrary expulsion, the return of undocumented migrants in dignified circumstances, and measures for the reinsertion of returnees, especially women who have been the victims of trafficking and persons belonging to national minorities; (d) The forums for negotiation and discussion should be strengthened such as the Puebla process, the Manila process and the Bangkok, Dakar, Mediterranean, Cairo, Lima and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) initiatives, by finding ways to include the civil and academic sectors in that framework;11 (e) Action should be taken to promote and lobby for the ratification of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families; (f) Attention should be focused on the links between the topic of migration and the ongoing work of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice and, in particular, on the effects of trafficking and smuggling on migrants’ rights; (g) An intersectoral dialogue should be initiated to find ways and to develop specific policies to deal with migration issues and their implications for development, gender equity and the return and integration of repatriated migrants; (h) The processes whereby multinational trading agreements are reached and country groupings formed should be monitored, with the aim of including in those processes a deeper analysis of the impact of globalization on the migration of people, thus averting situations in which the rights of migrants are violated;12
