A/HRC/53/26/Add.3 not downplay the immense resources, effort and support required by the Government of Bangladesh in hosting Rohingyas, he thus underscores that this is a multilateral effort that continues to require the essential support of other Governments and development partners. VI. Conclusions and recommendations 114. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the many efforts undertaken by the Government of Bangladesh and its partners to better regulate and protect the rights of migrant workers. Bangladesh is an impressive example of a country that has undergone rapid growth and development, as evident in its forthcoming graduation from least developed country status. Labour migration, with its high economic returns, has been pivotal in this progress. 115. Labour migration, if governed effectively, with the appropriate mechanisms in place to ensure safe and fair migration practices, can continue to positively affect the lives of millions of Bangladeshis. 116. However, the protection gaps in unfair and unethical recruitment processes and the lack of human rights guarantees, protection or recourse for violations, particularly in countries of destination, continue to be significant hurdles for safe and fair migration practices, which are key characteristics of the various global initiatives that Bangladesh has championed. This has undermined many of the positive gains that have been made by the authorities and their partners. 117. The high cost of migration continues to be problematic, and the vulnerability of many migrants, including women, to exploitation, trafficking and other human rights abuses need to be effectively addressed. There is thus a need for stronger cooperation and coordination between Bangladesh and countries of destination to ensure strong rights-based, enforceable agreements for migrant workers, including access to justice and legal remedies where abuses have occurred. 118. A. The Special Rapporteur thus recommends that the Government: Legal frameworks (a) Ratify ILO conventions, including the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190), the Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97), the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143), the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187); (b) Engage with countries of destination in ratifying the above-mentioned conventions to ensure protection for migrant workers, and to ensure the application of ratified conventions, both in law and in practice, in particular the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) and the Protocol thereto; B. Recruitment (c) Enhance the regulation and monitoring of the recruitment sector by fully and effectively implementing all safeguards provided in the Overseas Employment and Migrants Act; (d) Ensure that private recruitment agencies are properly registered and that the database on aspiring migrants is operational and used by recruitment agencies; (e) Strengthen oversight over its own recruitment agents, offering protections for its workers in host countries and aiding workers in distress; 16 GE.23-08750
