What kind of updated migration policy do they see in the Human Rights Council?
The Human Rights Council (HRC) has called for a comprehensive review of the global migration system, saying that the current system is "failing migrants and host communities alike."
The HRC's call for a review comes in a new report, "A Call for Action: Reforming the Global Migration System," which was released on Tuesday. The report argues that the current migration system is "failing migrants and host communities alike" and that a new approach is needed.
The report makes a number of specific recommendations for reforming the global migration system, including:
- Increasing investment in migration governance
- Promoting safe and orderly migration
- Protecting the rights of migrants
- Addressing the root causes of migration
The HRC's report is the latest in a series of calls for reform of the global migration system. In 2016, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, which called for a more humane and sustainable approach to migration. The Global Compact for Migration, which was adopted in 2018, also calls for a comprehensive approach to migration that is based on human rights.
The HRC's report provides a roadmap for reforming the global migration system. The recommendations in the report are based on extensive research and consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. The HRC's call for action is a timely and important step towards creating a more humane and sustainable migration system.
Key findings of the report:
- The current migration system is failing migrants and host communities alike.
- The number of international migrants has increased significantly in recent years.
- Migrants face a number of challenges, including discrimination, exploitation, and violence.
- Host communities often struggle to cope with the influx of migrants.
- A new approach to migration is needed that is based on human rights.
Recommendations for reforming the global migration system:
- Increase investment in migration governance
- Promote safe and orderly migration
- Protect the rights of migrants
- Address the root causes of migration
The HRC's report is a valuable contribution to the debate on migration. The recommendations in the report provide a roadmap for reforming the global migration system and creating a more humane and sustainable future for migrants and host communities alike.
