SEANF Paper on Migrant Workers V. Recommendations to the Asia-Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (APF) 120. The SEANF recommends the APF develop a multi-year program that aims to expand capacity-building and knowledge on protection of human rights in the context of migration for key stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific region. The APF has already made an excellent start on this process with the recently NHRIs-civil society dialogue conducted in Dili, Timor Leste, earlier in 2009. The SEANF recommends that program components include research into best practices and dissemination of lessons learned in protecting migrant workers from other parts of Asia and elsewhere in the world; technical advice and capacity building support for NHRIs; and continued policy dialogues bringing together NHRIs, civil society, representatives of regional organizations (like the ASEAN Secretariat), and national government officers. 121. The SEANF recommends that the APF Working Group on Migration play an important role in collecting information and developing analysis of cases of rights violations of migrant workers in ASEAN, and engage with both the SEANF and the AICHR to develop ideas on how to collaborate to resolve such complaints. The SEANF hopes that such exercises would not only result in justice for the migrant workers with grievances, but also illustrate ways forward for the AICHR in the future. 122. The SEANF pledges its continued support and cooperation in the efforts of the APF and its NHRI members to fully and completely implement the Seoul Guidelines on the Cooperation of NHRIs for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights of Migrants in Asia, adopted November 10-12, 2008. 49
