A/HRC/45/30 114. States should recognize migrants as rights holders, as agents of their own destinies and as valuable participants in societies. 115. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed and exacerbated the vulnerability that many migrants endure and the severe consequences of the exclusion, inequality and discrimination that many migrants face. A number of States have shown leadership and proven how inclusive and human rights-based measures are leading to better results. The pandemic offers an opportunity to address human rights protection gaps by reviewing laws, policies and practices and ensuring that, in building back better, more inclusive and sustainable systems can be achieved for migrants, their families and societies at large. 116. The COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to reimagine human mobility for the benefit of all while advancing the central commitment set out in the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind. It calls for a strengthened commitment to ensure that mobility remains safe, inclusive and respects international law, as envisaged in the Global Compact for Migration. Going forward, it will be crucial to recognize the lessons learned from the pandemic: that exclusion is costly and inclusion pays; that human rights and human dignity must be respected; that no one is safe until everyone is safe; and that people on the move are part of the solution. 117. The Global Compact for Migration provides a framework for States, international organizations, civil society, national human rights institutions and other stakeholders to work together in support of a new global approach to migration that addresses this fundamental human phenomenon in all of its value and complexity, while placing the human rights of migrants and societies at the centre. As the Global Compact approaches its first review at the regional level, implementation of this cooperative framework at all levels is key. B. Recommendations 118. The Secretary-General welcomes the information received from States and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, including information concerning legislation, regulations and policies to strengthen the protection of the human rights of all migrants, and in that regard: (a) Underscores that States parties to the core international human rights instruments have an obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of all migrants under their jurisdiction, regardless of their nationality or migration status, consistent with the principle of non-discrimination; (b) Encourages States that have not yet done so to ratify and implement all international human rights instruments, including the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, and to ensure that migration policies are grounded in international human rights norms and standards; (c) Underscores the importance of international cooperation, multilateralism and solidarity at all levels on complex issues that no State can address alone, and the need for comprehensive and human rights-based approaches to migration governance that places migrants at the centre, as embodied by the Global Compact for Migration; (d) Encourages States and other stakeholders to move forward with the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration with a renewed sense of urgency and in a manner that fully reflects its vision and guiding principles, including through an approach that is people-centred and prioritizes migrants’ human rights. In order to support such implementation, all States are encouraged to develop comprehensive, rights-based national implementation plans in advance of the upcoming regional review process and to commit sufficient and flexible funding to the United Nations multipartner trust fund to support the Global Compact for Migration; 15
