Human rights of migrants

Note by the Secretary-General*

In its resolution 70/147 on the protection of migrants, the General Assembly

requested the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly and the Human Rights

Council at their seventy-first and thirty-third sessions, respectively, a comprehensive report

entitled “Human rights of migrants”, covering all aspects of the implementation of the

resolution.

The report of the Secretary-General on the promotion and protection of human

rights, including ways and means to promote the human rights of migrants (A/71/284),

which will be submitted to the General Assembly for consideration at its seventy-first

session, contains a summary of the written submissions received from Governments in

response to a note verbale sent from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner

for Human Rights on behalf of the Secretary-General requesting information on the

implementation of the resolution. The Secretary-General, therefore, has the honour to refer

the Human Rights Council to that report.
