A/HRC/20/24/Add.1 (b) Undertake a human rights assessment study of the implementation of readmission agreements concluded with the European Union and countries in the Western Balkan and, on this basis, formulate detailed and human rights-based implementation protocols. These should ensure that detailed information on the profile and protection needs of each returnee is systematically received by the Border and Migration Police in advance of readmission. Provision of a complaint procedure on alleged human rights abuses should also be considered; (c) Conduct a thorough human rights-based needs assessment of all border crossing points regarding infrastructure, capacity and human resources with a view to ensuring, inter alia, an adequate presence of female police and availability of psychologists and social workers.

The Government is invited to contemplate ways to increase budgetary and operational autonomy of the migration counters; (g) Formulate, in partnership with returnee women and children themselves, specialized programmes for Albanian women and children migrants returning voluntarily or forcibly for their reintegration at local level; (h) Review the mechanism of institutional oversight of the Strategy on reintegration of returned Albanian citizens to ensure a strong human rights-based and oriented implementation.
