E/CN.4/2006/73 page 16 78. Finally, the Special Rapporteur would like to note that in its resolution 2005/47 (para. 30), the Commission on Human Rights requested the Special Rapporteur to include in the annual report a chapter on the impact of the legislation and the measures adopted by some States that restrict the human rights and fundamental freedoms of migrants. Owing to the recent appointment of the new Special Rapporteur, and to the time that has been dedicated to initial consultations regarding the development of the mandate, it was not possible to present such an analysis in this year’s report. However, existing and proposed new laws that restrict the rights and freedoms of migrants have long been an issue of grave concern to the Special Rapporteur and he looks forward to examining this issue in next year’s reports.
