Assessment of progress and financing
77. Implementing the 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility would require
an explicit whole-of-government approach by each State, cooperation among all
levels of government, including municipal authorities, and a global collaboration
among all States to fulfil their duties and responsibilities, as well as global
partnerships among States and other key stakeholders, such as the business
community, trade unions, civil society and migrant associations. The progress in the
implementation thereof would be monitored and reported by States periodically at
the national, regional and global levels.
78. Systematic follow-up and review at the global level would be conducted
during the high-level dialogues on International Migration and Development to
ensure that the implementation of the agenda stayed on course. Given that the
Millennium Development Goals were followed by the more ambitious Sustainable
Development Goals, the 2035 agenda would also be expected to pave the way for a
more ambitious agenda in order to make a meaningful and progressive impact on the
lives of future generations.
79. In order to facilitate the implementation of the agenda by States, the Special
Rapporteur also supports the proposal made in the report of the Special
Representative of the Secretary-General on Migration with regard to financing
through a collective fund (see A/71/728). As stated in paragraph 32 of the present
report, similar long-term strategies exist for the environment, trade and energy.
Similarly, as outlined in the report of the Special Representative, a dedicated
financing facility would be needed to support capacity development for the
implementation of migration-related international commitments. The Special
Rapporteur welcomes the opening of the Sustainable Development Goals Financing
Lab, which is aimed at mobilizing the resources needed to support the world’s long term sustainable development objectives, including in relation to migration. 11
IV. Conclusions and recommendations
80. The unprecedented number of undocumented cross-border movements
has resulted in increased deaths, violence and suffering at borders and at every
stage of the migratory process over the past few years. Such events have clearly
shown that the status quo in the approaches of States to border control and
