A/71/285 employers, who are currently providing migrants with mobility solutions regardless of State policies. 112. Migration is multidimensional and it is often conceptualized together with other aspects of globalization. However, those who are most affected by migratio n are the migrants themselves, who are human beings with inalienable human rights, which States have committed to respect in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the human rights treaties and international labour conventions to which they are parties. Thus, migration cannot be conceptualized without human rights, and any framework for migration governance must duly take into account the human rights of migrants. 113. Any future model for global migration governance should encompass several functions, including: standard-setting and normative oversight; capacity-building and technical assistance; a platform for dialogue, collaboration and political facilitation; and the development of a knowledge base or capacity through data, indicators and dissemination. These functions are currently carried out by a wide range of actors, both inside and outside the United Nations framework. Integrating the International Organization for Migration into the United Nations, with a revised mandate 114. IOM already works very closely with the United Nations, including as a member of the Global Migration Group, and in many countries IOM is part of United Nations country teams. Integrating IOM into the United Nations would thus allow the United Nations to benefit from its vast experience and expertise. 115. However, the IOM Constitution does not include a protection mandate. In order for IOM to be properly integrated into the United Nations, its Constitution should be revised. IOM should be given an official human rights protection function, and the United Nations human rights framework should be referred to in its Constitution. This would allow IOM to measure its policies and practices against a clear, binding normative framework and ensure that all projects funded by States and implemented by IOM are negotiated in respect of that framework. 116. As human rights are at the core of migrants’ social, economic and legal condition, IOM cannot become the leading international organization on migration unless it has a clearly defined legal human rights protection framework against which to measure the legitimacy of its policies and practices. The argument put forward by many, according to which IOM would work with States on migration policies while the United Nations would address the human rights of migrants, makes little sense from a human rights perspective: mainstreaming human rights into migration policies is the only way to achieve the desired result of ensuring that the human rights of migrants are actually respected, protected and promoted by all. 117. In his 2013 report, the Special Rapporteur recommended that this constitutional change be operationalized as IOM becomes integrated into the United Nations. He notes that an agreement between States appears to have been reached for such integration without this specific constitutional change, and therefore now proposes that the issue of the updating of the IOM Constitution be included in the agenda for the 2018 follow-up United Nations conference on migration. 118. In addition, the IOM human rights framework and independence would be reinforced if predictable core funding were made available. Currently, more than 98 per cent of IOM funding is in the form of voluntary contributions for earmarked projects. Therefore, donor States have an important role in determini ng the 22/24 16-13509
