Accordingly, it should:
(a) Recognize that migration interacts with development in the
communities in which migrants live in many areas, including the econ omy,
social development, health, education and cultural life;
(b) Build upon the success of the Millennium Development Goals and
provide clear, concise, time-bound, measurable and human-rights-based goals,
targets and indicators, especially for migrants, whatever their status and
circumstances;
(c) Promote equality and non-discrimination as a stand-alone goal, with
particular attention paid to the most marginalized groups, including migrants;
(d) Apply the principles of non-discrimination, participation,
accountability and access to remedies to all goals, targets and indicators;
(e) Develop specific migrant-sensitive targets and indicators for each
relevant goal;
(f) Ensure the systematic disaggregation of indicators by migrant status
(e.g. by nationality and by migration and residence status), in addition to
disaggregation by all prohibited grounds of discrimination, including age,
gender, income, disability, rural/urban area, nationality and disability, in all
relevant goals;
(g) Align all goals, targets and indicators with international human
rights and labour standards, the aim being to include the realization of human
rights for all in the post-2015 agenda, which would increase policy coherence
and strengthen accountability;
(h) Explicitly focus targets and indicators on marginalized groups and
aim to narrow the gap between the mainstream population and marginalized
groups;
(i) Develop inclusive processes, so as to allow for national consultations
that create better understanding of and adaptation to each goal, target and
indicator, according to national contexts, especially taking into account and
carrying the voice of marginalized groups, including migrants. 33
