SEANF Paper on Migrant Workers agenda to examine the policies and practices of ASEAN member states on migration and compare them with international human rights standards. 67. The SEANF calls on the AICHR to commission a study on the thematic issue of abuses of human rights during the migration process in ASEAN, using its mandate under Article 4.12 of its TOR. The study should make appropriate recommendations for further actions by AICHR and existing NHRIs. 68. The SEANF recommends that the AICHR should use its mandate under Article 4.11 of its TOR (enabling the AICHR to “develop common approaches and positions on human rights matters of interest to ASEAN”) to launch a consultative process with the four member NHRIs of the SEANF and representatives of ASEAN civil society. Article 4.9 in the mandate of AICHR also gives it the right “to consult, as may be appropriate, with other national, regional and international institutions and entities concerned with the promotion and protection of human rights.” In this way, consultations may also be held with international agencies of the UN system, other Governments, international NGOs, and other organizations as needed. 69. In line with AICHR’s public awareness mandate under Article 4.3 of its TOR, the SEANF recommends that the AICHR should closely collaborate with the SEANF and civil society organizations to launch a major public awareness campaign on the human rights of migrant workers, targeting both major labour sending regions as well as areas of destination, where migrant workers are currently employed. 35
