A/71/285 organization’s work and priorities. Core funding would allow IOM to initiate projects according to its own priorities, rather than mostly implementing donor driven undertakings. 119. Furthermore, the integration of IOM into the United Nations system must include a deepening of the cooperation between IOM and all other relevant United Nations entities and agencies working on migration, in particular those that have a defined protection mandate, such as OHCHR, UNHCR, ILO, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). IOM must also develop very clear mechanisms for collaboratio n and coordination with civil society. 120. The idea of requesting IOM to support the ratification and implementation of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families should also be discussed. The Convention, which has garnered few ratifications, would benefit from an institutional champion able to muster adhesion to its principles. Such a responsibility would contribute to strengthening the human rights culture within IOM and provide it wi th an appropriate normative tool to measure its action and to negotiate projects with States. IOM would thus complement the important work of the Committee on Migrant Workers, in the same way that UNICEF and the Committee on the Rights of the Child complement each other’s work on the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. IV. Conclusions and recommendations 121. The events in the Andaman Sea, the Asia-Pacific region, Central America, the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, as well as the mirroring of such suffering at each stage of the migratory process over the past three few years, have clearly shown that the status quo in approaches of States to border control, asylum and migration is not sustainable if the objective is to reduce suffering and deaths. 122. The commitments of States to regional and international human rights systems and other normative standards clearly show that they have the potential to collectively initiate and develop a global leadership role on the issue of migration policies and practices, a role which remains vacant at present. 123. The global compact should: (a) Recognize the need for a stronger human rights-based normative and institutional framework for migration at the United Nations, which will, in turn, have a positive effect on informal migration governance outside of the United Nations; (b) Outline clear short-, medium- and long-term goals that articulate a shared vision for the global compact on how to facilitate migration and mobility, as requested in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Such goals must be developed in full recognition of the push and pull factors of irregular migration and responsibilities of States for managing and mitigating them; 16-13509 23/24
