A/HRC/33/50/Add.1 integration of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees into Maltese society remain inadequate. The Working Group further recommends the incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child into domestic legislation. The cooperation of civil society organizations, particularly religious institutions with considerable expertise and experience in these areas, should be sought. No military presence in the management of the detention centres should be authorized. Long-term planning for people living in open centres should be undertaken. The Government should explore alternative placement options. The Working Group considers that community-based placement is more respectful of the human rights of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, and more likely to empower them to participate in caseresolution processes. Free legal aid should be extended to migrants in an irregular situation, even before the appeal stage of the review process. Such aid should not be limited to applications before the Immigration Appeals Board but rather should be extended to appeals before the Civil, Constitutional and European Courts. Lastly, the Working Group highlights that a comprehensive solution to migration flows, and to the situation of refugee and asylum seekers, should involve countries of origin, transit and destination, especially the States members of the African Union and of the European Union. 3
