A/HRC/16/64 84. The Working Group invites employers, trade unions, politicians and civil society to take action with regard to the problems of migration and its link to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. 85. The Working Group recognizes that migration (and associated increased labour mobility) represents one of the long-term solutions to labour and skills needs in evolving economies throughout the world. The Working Group believes that immediate measures and policy responses are required to mitigate the negative impact of any economic and/or financial crisis on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of migrant workers. In this regard the human rights of migrant workers should be guaranteed in particular in the context of the overall efforts to promote a comprehensive approach to overcome crises. In this regard, the Working Group recommends four broad areas for intervention: (a) Shoring up just and decent work conditions and protection of migrant workers in destination countries; (b) Taking measures to combat trafficking and forced labour of migrant workers, regardless of their immigration status; (c) Enhancing employment creation and social safety-net protections for returning migrants in countries of origin and recognizing the importance of fostering international cooperation in this regard; (d) Taking all appropriate legal and administrative measures to prevent and combat the manifestations and acts of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance against migrants, including on the basis of religion or belief, and to prosecute perpetrators of violent acts; and emphasizing the necessity to appropriately address the stereotypes often applied to migrants. 3. Employment 86. The Working Group urges States to consider ratifying and fully implementing ILO Convention No. 111and ILO Convention No. 100 (1951) concerning Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value, as a matter of priority. 87. The Working Group calls upon Member States to consider ratifying the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, as well as other relevant United Nations conventions, as a matter of priority. 88. The Working Group urges States to adopt legislation, where they have not already done so, that in particular prohibits racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in accessing employment and protects workers from such discrimination in the workplace. 89. The Working Group calls upon States, in collaboration with various stakeholders, in particular employers and trade unions, to implement effective awareness-raising campaigns and training programmes to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and negative stereotyping in the workplace. 90. The Working Group encourages States to establish observatories at the national level to monitor racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in relation to employment, including mechanisms for the reception of complaints and measures for addressing racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, where it is found to exist. 18
