A/72/173 43. Opening up more regular migration channels for migrants at all skill levels would considerably reduce undocumented migration and limit the power of smuggling rings. Allowing people to look for work on the regular labour market would present opportunities for both employers and workers. Abolishing sponsorship-based temporary migrant worker programmes and providing open work visas would considerably reduce labour exploitation. 44. Through resettlement programmes for refugees and the provision of humanitarian visas and other opportunities, it is well within the means of States to develop the mechanisms necessary for providing resettlement opportuniti es to refugees. A worldwide, well-governed distribution key that provides resettlement programmes for refugees and humanitarian visas and other opportunities would create a reliable long-term programme and ensure that a large number of refugees would seek resettlement rather than spend large sums of money and risk their lives and those of their children in smuggling operations. That would considerably reduce the market for smugglers, as well as the cost of procedures to determine the status of refugees in countries of destination. 45. In order to facilitate mobility, States must increase regular channels for migration and the taxation of mobility through the progressive expansion of visa liberalization, electronic travel authorization mechanisms and easily accessible visa facilitation regimes, such as refugee settlement, temporary protection, visitor, family reunification, work, resident, retirement and student visas, with all the identity and security checks that efficient visa regimes can provide. 46. In order to introduce a human rights-based approach to the mobility of human resources in the negotiation of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, States should, in partnership with the business communities involved, considerably enlarge the elements of human mobility and labour migration in trade negotiations, and representatives of migrants should be offered meaningful opportunities to comment on draft trade agreements as key stakeholders. 47. Much of the labour exploitation that migrants suffer is li nked to recruitment agencies. In accordance with international human rights standards, private actors must, at a minimum, respect the human and labour rights of their workers. The private sector, including recruitment agencies and employers, plays an impor tant role in the labour exploitation of migrants and must therefore be part of the solution.
