(c) Providing the opportunity to show the electorate of destination countries
that borders are respected, that authorities are managing migration properly, that
employers are integrating migrants into the labour market, that investments have
been made in integration programmes and that the fearmongering discourse of
nationalist populists is based on stereotypes, myths and fantasies that can be
countered by facts.
36. The inclusion of migrants in the Sustainable Development Goals demonstrated
that all States, without a doubt, acknowledged the importance of better -governed
mobility. Given that the process is already under way, the Special Rapporteur
proposes harnessing the energy of that existing process and developing
recommendations on how it can be further developed for migration.
37. With that in mind, the Special Rapporteur proposes developing a 2035 agen da
for facilitating human mobility, which would translate the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development into “bite-sized” and achievable goals, targets and
indicators. The 2030 Agenda already refers, in certain Sustainable Development
Goals, to the human and labour rights of migrants, including:
(a) Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments
for all workers, including migrants, especially women migrants, and those in
precarious employment (target 8.8);
(b) Reduce the transaction costs of migrant remittances to less than 3 per
cent and the elimination of remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent by
2030 (target 10.c);
(c) Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of
people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed
migration policies (target 10.7);
(d) Promote and enforce non-discriminatory
sustainable development (target 16.b);

(g) Increase significantly the availability of high -quality, timely and reliable
data disaggregated by, among other things, migratory status, by 2020 (target 17.18).
38. Primarily on the basis of targets 10.7 and 8.8, the Special Rapporteur intends
to recommend that States and other stakeholders develop long -term strategies to
fulfil their obligations towards all migrants, including migrants in precarious
situations, as set out in the Sustainable Development Goals.

Human mobility goals
39. Building upon the experience gained from his mandate, which he has held
since 2011, the Special Rapporteur presents the following agenda as a road map and
as a way of demonstrating the content, scale, practicability and scope of a future
2035 agenda. The agenda encompasses eight human mobility goals, together with
targets and indicators, aimed at facilitating human mobility while ensuring respect
for the human rights of all migrants, regardless of their status, skills, age, gender or
sexual orientation.
