Social cohesion can only be achieved with fairness; in turn fairness requires coherence in the form of policies that respect the human dignity of all people. In migration contexts, this means recognition, assistance and protection for refugees and for migrant victims of trafficking, torture, trauma and other violence in the migratory process. Also, it is necessary to have reality-based legal migration systems that better match the true needs of labour markets along with policies that do not discriminate against lesser-skilled migrant workers and the protection of certain types of unregulated employment. This fairness can be found in the international frameworks of human rights. While all of these issues can benefit from concrete bilateral or region-specific approaches and cooperation, the activities of all actors, that is, States, international organisations, civil society, and even the private sector, should be conducted with full respect for universal frameworks for human rights and obligations.
