73.
Good policies and laws that comply with international standards are not,
however, sufficient by themselves. Institutions with appropriate capacity are required
to implement them. This implies the provision of training in human rights law and
standards that relate to migrants, for border officials, judicial officials, government
officials , professionals who deliver essential services or make important decisions
(such as teachers and medical personnel), and also civil society organizations and
migrants themselves.
74.
It is vital to regulate and inform employers and recruiters of migrant workers,
and to monitor and regulate employment conditions and contracts, not least by
training and empowering factory inspectors and law enforcement and judicial officials
who prosecute cases of abuse, protect victims and provide victims with redress.
75.
Lastly, it is vital to train and strengthen the capacity of independent monitoring
bodies, in particular national human rights institutions and civil society organizations,
to ensure that public institutions are properly accountable.
76.
The examples of technical assistance given in the present report cover most or
all of these essential dimensions of action to promote a rounded, human rights-based
response to all forms of migration. In close collaboration with States, other United
Nations agencies and a wide range of independent bodies, OHCHR will continue to
work towards a fully coherent and rights-based approach to migration, undertaking
technical assistance activities that complement the mandates of these actors and add
value.
