A/71/285 (d) Facilitating unionization for all migrant workers regardless of their status, effective access to justice for all migrants and respect of the rule of law for all, including migrants; (e) Implementing “firewalls” between immigration enforcement and public services such as police services, health care and education for all migrants, regardless of their status; (f) Reinforcing labour inspection mechanisms to enforce the rights of all workers, including migrant workers, whatever their status; (g) Creating multiple labour migration opportunities, including for low skilled migrants, to incentivize migrants to use regular migration channels, through visa and work permit regimes. 37. Smugglers and exploitative employers are currently facilitating the labour mobility that many labour markets need in order to thrive. Through creative visa opportunities for work at all skill levels, including for low-wage migrants, States could considerably reduce the number of migrants arriving through irregular means or overstaying their visas or permits. Coupled with entry and exit controls and other supporting initiatives, multi-year and multi-entry visas could incentivize migrants to come to countries of destination for work and return to the country of origin while respecting visa conditions. Encouraging mobility, including for employment, family reunification and education, will reduce irregularity. 38. The successful implementation of such a policy mix requires challenging the many intersecting and negative perceptions of migrants and migration that have pervaded public debates, policies and politics. The overreliance on securitization rests on the assumption that sealing international borders is possible, when the unsustainable status quo shows that it is not. Developing the global compact will require continued political commitment and creative policy developments. 2. Building on existing bilateral, regional and global cooperation mechanisms 39. Migration governance has become increasingly informal, ad hoc, non -binding and State-led, largely falling outside the United Nations framework in forums such as the Global Forum on Migration and Development and regional consultative processes. This leads to a lack of accountability, monitoring and oversight and the absence of a relationship with the formal normative monitoring mechanisms established within the United Nations. 40. Although such informal forums serve the purpose of initiating and sustaining conversations on migration issues between States, there is also a need to enha nce the human rights dimension of global migration governance, including in terms of accountability, and to bring it into the United Nations framework, including by establishing an institutional framework on migration based within the Organization. 41. There has been considerable recognition of and interest in the issue of migration governance over the past decade. The two High -level Dialogues on International Migration and Development, with a third to be held by 2019, the thriving Global Forum on Migration and Development, the coordination work of the Global Migration Group, the growth in IOM membership, the development of regional initiatives, through both regional organizations and regional consultative processes, and the decision to hold the high-level plenary meeting of the General 16-13509 9/24
