A/68/283 have access to national courts and tribunals, which should effectively apply the international human rights treaties in providing appropriate redress. States should implement a “firewall” between immigration enforcement and public services and improve data collection and indicators in all areas relevant to migration in order to make informed policy decisions. 128. States must ensure that bilateral agreements related to migrants, and regional and trans-regional cooperation mechanisms, such as regional consultative processes, are transparent, guarantee the human rights of migrants and ensure accountability. 129. States should recognize the need for a stronger human rights-based institutional framework for migration at the United Nations. This could, in turn, have a positive effect on informal migration governance outside the United Nations, including the Global Forum on Migration and Development and regional consultative processes. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur urges all United Nations Member States to consider the possibility of creating a new organization with a specific mandate on international migration. This could be achieved, inter alia, by bringing IOM into the United Nations system. However, the Special Rapporteur notes that this would require that IOM be given a revised mandate that should include at its core the protection of the human rights of all migrants. The new “IOM-based” agency should also be provided with adequate resources that are not project-driven only. 130. States should consider ratifying all the core United Nations human rights treaties that they have not yet ratified, including the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, as well as other relevant treaties, including ILO conventions, the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. 131. States should ensure that the human rights of migrants are included in the post-2015 development agenda. (a) Recommendations in relation to the High-level Dialogue on International Migration 132. The High-level Dialogue on International Migration to be held in 2013 is an important moment to reflect on the mainstreaming of human rights into all aspects of the migration debate. 133. States should consider holding more frequent high-level dialogues, for instance every three years, which should be interactive and action-oriented, each with a rights-based negotiated outcome document. 134. Human rights must be a cross-cutting issue that informs all discussions at the High-level Dialogue, and States should consider raising the following issues: (a) Decriminalization of irregular entry and stay, which should never be considered criminal offences; (b) The move away from detention as a tool in addressing irregular migration and the development of alternatives to detention; (c) Measures to ensure awareness-raising on the human rights of migrants; 24/26 13-42115
