Migrants’ Rights Are Human Rights
This International Migrants’ Day, we reaffirm a simple yet vital truth: every migrant, regardless of immigration status or journey, holds full and unconditional human rights.
We call on governments and civil society to honour and protect the dignity and humanity of all migrants, ensuring their full enjoyment of rights and participation in society. Undocumented people are not “exceptions”—we are human beings whose rights are intrinsic and inviolable.
Let us be clear: exclusionary border controls and punitive migration policies stand in conflict with the commitment to uphold human rights.
No more symbolic gestures.
End State violence against our communities: no more raids and forced removals.
Regularise undocumented people.
It’s time for real, unconditional rights for ALL.
Together, let’s create a future where every migrant’s humanity is recognised, respected, and upheld.
