The Special Rapporteur was impressed by the rights protected and guaranteed to all in the Bill of Rights, which he found to be comprehensive and covering all issues relevant to the protection of migrants, in particular the right to freedom and security of the person (sect. 12), the prohibition of slavery, servitude or forced labour (sect. 13), freedom of employment and fair labour practices (sects. 22-23), the right of all to adequate housing (sect. 26), to health care, food, water and social security services (sect. 27) and education (sect. 29), and the protection of children (sect. 28). (...) These shortcomings highlight the absence of a clear and comprehensive immigration policy applicable to all foreign nationals in the country, covering all categories of migrants. Such a policy would also need to create and maintain the necessary conditions for the successful integration of migrants into South African society. 42. In order to achieve such a comprehensive policy, covering the flow of labour migration and with a human rights-based approach, a regional approach could be developed with SADC member States. 43.

Journalists in the West Bank are not only subjected to restrictions imposed by the Palestinian Authority, but by Israel, including arbitrary closure of radio and television stations, arbitrary arrests and detention, and attacks while covering demonstrations. 69. Recent cases of interference with Palestinian media include a raid by Israeli security forces on 2 April 2012 of a Palestinian radio, television and online media network established by Al-Quds University in East Jerusalem, when equipment and personal files were confiscated and two employees arrested.

The Centre was conceived as a pilot project of the federal Government, with the aim of promoting the implementation of international human rights obligations in Switzerland and advising and supporting the authorities, civil society and the economy.4 The Centre’s mandate, initially covering from 2011 to 2015, was extended by the Federal Council on 1 July 2015 to enable the Centre to continue its activities until the establishment of a successor institution.

However, the Government points to the considerable lack of such accommodation for the purposes of covering the needs of all unaccompanied minors. The Working Group welcomes the recent increase in total capacity for the long-term accommodation of unaccompanied minors.
