A/58/275 should also serve as a tool for monitoring the follow-up and progress made in the protection and promotion of the human rights of migrants. The present report contains recommendations to promote and protect the human rights of migrants throughout the migration process. The Special Rapporteur believes that the subject matter of such recommendations merits increased attention at the international and national levels. International support for the exchange and collection of good practices and successful experiences is also particularly encouraged in order to facilitate the development of tools for the promotion of a human rights-based approach to migration. The Special Rapporteur emphasizes the need to strengthen measures to prevent irregular migration, including in countries of origin. In particular, the Special Rapporteur encourages States to ratify the International Convention for the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and the Protocols supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, those on trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants. She also recommends that special efforts be undertaken to combat corruption of immigration officials and to eliminate impunity for members of trafficking and smuggling networks. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that countries of origin undertake efforts to provide adequate documentation and strengthened consular protection to their nationals abroad in order to prevent some of the violations outlined in the report. 4
