E/CN.4/2003/85/Add.2 page 18 55. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the human rights procurators’ offices and state human rights commissions should strengthen their action for the protection of the human rights of migrants in their programmes. It is of the highest importance that migrants should have access to complaint mechanisms. In addition, the Special Rapporteur proposes the establishment of accessible complaint mechanisms and joint programmes with civil society to assist undocumented migrant women victims of abuse by public officials, employers or relatives. 56. The Special Rapporteur also invites the various states within Mexico to take all necessary measures to consolidate mechanisms for the internal control of officials participating in migration management and take continuous action to combat corruption. 57. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the recent establishment by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) of an office in Mexico and invites this new office to take the human rights of migrants into account in its forthcoming activities, making use of the observations contained in this report. The UNHCHR office in Mexico could organize with the migration authorities and civil society human rights training programmes for INM officials and police forces involved in migration policies. This training should go beyond relevant legislation and should take into account psycho-social effects on both migrants and the officials themselves. It is also suggested that the office should offer its technical cooperation in the implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. 58. The Special Rapporteur invites the International Organization for Migration to provide support for the Mexican Government and civil society in the implementation of migration management in which the human rights and dignity of migrants are respected. 59. The Special Rapporteur congratulates civil society on its work for the protection of the human rights of migrants and invites it to continue working to this end by assisting migrants who request its help, responding to appeals by the migration authorities in emergencies, regularly visiting holding and detention centres, and increasing public awareness of the need to safeguard migrants’ human rights. The Special Rapporteur also invites civil society to report, at the national, regional and international levels, abuses committed against migrants or against organizations and persons working to protect them. Lastly, the Special Rapporteur encourages civil society organizations to take action on the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. Notes 1 Some of the migrants interviewed told the Special Rapporteur that police officers extorting money from them had threatened to detain them for having no papers, saying they were entitled to do that under the law. 2 Some of them, such as the “Mara Salvatrucha”, are organizations consisting of up to 300 people, said to be spread out in groups in the border region ready to attack and rob migrants.
