of overall migration management systems, based on human rights
standards
• Work with the private sector more broadly to ensure that their
perspective is included within legal and policy debates
• Further sensitize private organizations about the human rights
implications of business practices and support them in implementing the
United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in
relation to recruitment practices
• Include international business associations and trade unions, as well as
the ILO, in dialogues with the private sector to utilize their reach and
impact in support of transition to an ethical system of labour recruitment
• Lead by example in the development and implementation of the human
rights due diligence undertaken in relation to government contracts.
Prioritize and reward ethical recruitment agencies within the contracting
of government work and ensure that the costs of ethical recruitment are
factored into the tendering process. Have a zero-tolerance policy on the
charging of fees and broader abuses of migrant workers’ rights in any
part of government supply chains. Ensure regular and robust independent
audits to ensure compliance
Data collection
• Invest in national data collection that develops institutional understanding
of migration push and pull factors, recruitment practices, and the
migration patterns of nationals
• Use regional consultative processes to develop data collection and sharing
at the regional level, so that trends between different countries of origin
and destination are more fully understood
• Work in partnership with the relevant international organizations to
further develop a collective understanding of global trends in
international labour recruitment
• As an integral part of the development of the metrics associated with the
post-2015 sustainable development goals agenda, ensure that data
collection is joined up and coherent so it can effectively support
monitoring and evaluation and provide an evidence base for effective laws
and policies
• Ensure that all data collection systems include disaggregated metrics to
fully understand labour migration and recruitment patterns
B.
Recommendations to private sector organizations
• Ensure full implementation of the Respect, Protect and Remedy
Framework within the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and
Human Rights, in relation to migrant workers
• Comply with all relevant international human rights and labour standards
