The Special Rapporteur recommends the compilation and sharing of best practices in addressing irregular migration to help States and other stakeholders to develop human rights-based public policies. 112. States should develop awareness-raising campaigns in countries of origin, transit and destination to alert potential migrants about the possible dangers of irregular migration and to inform them of the existing protection mechanisms.

Human rights mechanisms, namely special procedures, treaty bodies and the universal periodic review mechanism should continue to pay special attention to the rights of migrants and the impact of the criminalization of irregular migration on the enjoyment of human rights by migrants. 116. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Global Migration Group to establish mechanisms to monitor State practices on migration management and 10-47488 25
