E/CN.4/2003/85/Add.2 page 17 protect their rights within the programmes of the National Human Rights Commission. In this connection, it is recommended that a five-year action plan should be established to include the undertakings made by the Mexican Government at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. 51. The Special Rapporteur would like to propose to the Mexican Government a number of concrete measures for the execution of this policy: strengthening the human and financial resources of the INM so as to enable it to perform its migration management functions independently; and, through the provision of specific human resources, an adequate budgetary allotment and training in migration management and human rights, strengthening the Beta Groups, and also broadening and consolidating their presence in high-risk locations. The Special Rapporteur also encourages the Mexican Government to train Federal Preventive Police personnel involved in support for the INM in the area of migration management and human rights, and to limit the intervention of other armed or police forces in migration control activities. It would also appear important to initiate a campaign against extortion and the abuse of undocumented migrants, with effective penalties for the officials involved. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the project for the expansion of the migrant holding centre in the Federal District should be completed, taking into account the relevant international standards. Lastly, the Special Rapporteur considers that the federal authorities should provide assistance, in conjunction with civil society, to sick and injured migrants and offer the necessary facilities to enable them to receive physical and psychological treatment in a humanitarian manner. She considers that there should be a special budget for this purpose. 52. At the same time, the Special Rapporteur invites the Mexican Government to initiate a process of harmonizing national legislation and public policies with the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. In addition, she invites the Mexican Government to withdraw its reservations to international treaties which affect migrants’ rights, in order that those treaties may be fully implemented in Mexico. Bearing in mind the role which Mexico has always played at the international level in the protection of the human rights of migrants, the Special Rapporteur invites the Government to continue to play an active part in the processes of regional dialogue aimed at the implementation of concrete programmes in the region. 53. The Special Rapporteur further requests the Mexican Government to consider ratification of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Protocols thereto. It is important that these instruments should constitute a frame of reference for the protection of the victims of the trafficking and smuggling of persons, ensuring that these victims are not penalized. 54. Since the vulnerability of migrants is primarily due to their illegal character, the Special Rapporteur considers it important to continue to provide migration regularization programmes, ensuring that they are accompanied by extensive information campaigns, with the support of civil society. In addition, it is necessary to reform Mexican legislation in order to achieve equality for men and women in the recognition of their individual migration status.
