The nature of the action undertaken by the UN Special Rapporteur on migrant rights . Selected issues and problems
Abstract
Despite the contribution they make to the life of host countries, migrants are often subjected to inappropriate or often cruel treatment because they are third-country nationals or are in an uncertain situation. The growing interest of the international community in the subject matter of human rights means that particular attention is now being devoted to migrant rights. The activity of the UN Special Rapporteur on migrant rights, who operates within the framework of the so-called Special Procedures established by the Human Rights Council, plays a special role among the mechanisms of protection of migrant rights in international relations.
