ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines the pressing issues which migrants encounter in their daily lives from the perspective of the correct application of international human rights obligations. It discusses the border control procedures in conformity with applicable obligations under international law, including international human rights law and international refugee law. To protect the human rights of migrants, States should establish procedures for regularly assessing, improving and monitoring the extent to which the human rights of all persons are equally enjoyed by migrants with irregular status. The book then provides the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all persons, in transit and after arrival. It examines the application of minimum labour standards for migrant workers regardless of their status, as well as to recruitment and other migration-related costs, remittance flows, transfers of skills and knowledge and the creation of employment opportunities for young people.
