E/CN.4/2003/85 page 4 The Special Rapporteur notices that national and international NGOs have started to devote increased attention to the situation of migrants deprived of their liberty, and would like to encourage them to continue in their efforts to document and study the violations and abuses that migrants often suffer in the context of detention. The Special Rapporteur would like to encourage the organizations of the civil society to develop programmes to provide assistance to migrants deprived of their liberty, including legal counsel and translation services and social and psychological assistance, and to visit regularly holding centres and penitentiaries where irregular migrants are held. The Special Rapporteur would finally like to encourage dialogue, through international and regional events and forums, with the participation of relevant international and regional organizations and representatives of the civil society, on international cooperation and arrangements for the establishment of migration management systems capable of addressing the phenomenon of irregular migration in a way that respects the human rights and dignity of migrants.
