With a joint letter to the UN Human Rights Council on 19 June 2023, 194 civil society organisations, including GCR, call for the creation of an independent, international monitoring mechanism for human rights violations at the borders.

"In light of the scale, severity, and global nature of this failure to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of all regardless of migration status", it is imperative to create an independent international mechanism "to undertake a global investigation into deaths, enforced disappearances, torture and other grave human rights violations faced by people in transit across international borders including as a result of pushbacks and collective expulsions, and to contribute to accountability and redress for victims and their families".
