Human mobility and human rights in the COVID-19 pandemic: Principles of protection for migrants, refugees, and other displaced persons Developed under the auspices of: 1. Equal treatment and non-discrimination State policies responding to COVID-19 must guarantee equal and non-discriminatory treatment of all persons, irrespective of their immigration and citizenship status or the fact of their displacement. 2. Right to health States must respect the right to health of migrants, refugees, and other displaced persons, including by ensuring that the provision of essential medicines, prevention, and treatment are provided in a non-discriminatory manner. 3. State obligations to combat stigma, racism and xenophobia States should ensure that neither their actions nor the actions of others stigmatize or incite violence against persons on account of their actual or perceived health status, in particular when such stigmatization is linked to nationality or immigration status. 4. Restrictions on movement between States States are required to ensure that restrictions on mobility adopted in response to COVID-19 respect the rights of all persons to leave any State and to re-enter their home States. 5. Restrictions on movements within States In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, States must respect the liberty of movement of all persons within their territory. 1
