26. The Committee notes the measures adopted by the State party to facilitate the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights by migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons. The Committee remains concerned, however, about:

27. The Committee recommends that the State party:

(a) Develop reliable indicators to determine the extent to which non-citizens are overrepresented in the prison system so that the situation can be assessed and the necessary measures taken to remedy any problems in this regard;

(...)

(d) Develop and implement specific strategies to mitigate the socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons.

38.

11. The Committee urges the State party to publish the Migration and Aliens Act and its implementing regulations promptly, so that they may enter into force and, where necessary, be amended so as to be brought into full conformity with the Convention, in particular with regard to:

(...) (g) Protection of the right to nationality for all children born in Chile, including those whose fathers and/or mothers have an irregular migration status;

 

43. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the State party regarding the administrative detention of migrants and is very concerned about:

(d) The fact that the authorities may withhold expired Chilean identity cards, passports and national identity cards, which could leave migrants and members of their families without documents;

44. In light of the Committee’s general comment No. 2 (2013), the Committee recommends that the State party:

(d) Ensure that the regulations implementing the new Act provide that migrants and members of their families subject to a detention order may retain their identification documents, even if they have expired;

 

52. The Committee urges the State party to recognize by law the Chilean nationality of children of migrants in an irregular situation who were born in the territory of the State party in order to avoid any risk of their becoming stateless.
