Description
The overall objective of this workstream is to respond to the mandate
contained in para. 76 of the Progress Declaration (PD) to prepare
“actionable recommendations on strengthening cooperation on missing
migrants and providing humanitarian assistance to migrants in distress,
including by collaborating with humanitarian actors, (…), with the aim of
preventing loss of life in transit” to be included in the next biennial
report of the Secretary-General. This may include developing background
documents and tools on which the Secretary-General could draw for his
recommendations and/or which could support their operationalization.
