recognition of travel documents, as well as to combat identity fraud and document
forgery, including by investing in digitalization, and strengthening mechanisms for
biometric data-sharing, while upholding the right to privacy and protecting
personal data;
(c) Ensure adequate, timely, reliable and accessible consular documentation
to our nationals residing in other countries, including identity and travel documents,
making use of information and communications technology, as well as community
outreach, particularly in remote areas;
(d) Facilitate access to personal documentation, such as passports and visas,
and ensure that relevant regulations and criteria for obtaining such documentation are
non-discriminatory, by undertaking a gender-responsive and age-sensitive review in
order to prevent increased risk of vulnerabilities throughout the migration cycle;
(e) Strengthen measures to reduce statelessness, including by registering
migrants’ births, ensuring that women and men can equally confer their n ationality
on their children, and providing nationality to children born in another State ’s
territory, especially in situations where a child would otherwise be stateless, fully
respecting the human right to a nationality and in accordance with national
legislation;
(f) Review and revise requirements to prove nationality at service delivery
centres to ensure that migrants without proof of nationality or legal identity are not
precluded from accessing basic services nor denied their human rights;
(g) Build upon existing practices at the local level that facilitate participation
in community life, such as interaction with authorities and access to relevant services,
through the issuance of registration cards to all persons living in a municipality,
including migrants, that contain basic personal information, while not constituting
entitlements to citizenship or residency.
Objective 5: Enhance availability and flexibility of pathways for
regular migration
21. We commit to adapt options and pathways for regular migration in a manner
that facilitates labour mobility and decent work reflecting demographic and labour
market realities, optimizes education opportunities, upholds the right to family life,
and responds to the needs of migrants in a situation of vulnerability, with a view to
expanding and diversifying availability of pathways for safe, orderly and regular
migration.
To realize this commitment, we will draw from the following actions:
(a) Develop human rights-based and gender-responsive bilateral, regional and
multilateral labour mobility agreements with sector-specific standard terms of
employment in cooperation with relevant stakeholders, drawing on relevant
International Labour Organization (ILO) standards, guidelines and principles, in
compliance with international human rights and labour law;
(b) Facilitate regional and cross-regional labour mobility through
international and bilateral cooperation arrangements, such as free movement regimes,
visa liberalization or multiple-country visas, and labour mobility cooperation
frameworks, in accordance with national priorities, local market needs and skills
supply;
(c) Review and revise existing options and pathways for regular migration,
with a view to optimizing skills-matching in labour markets and addressing
demographic realities and development challenges and opportunities, in accordance
