2. Its condemnation, viewing with concern the aggression against on Central American migrants in Mexico and calls on the Mexican SI member parties to increase their efforts to adopt laws, measures and policies to stop these attacks and strengthen the protection of migrants and their families.
3. Its decision to extend the debate on the issue of migration with its varied characteristics, in order that member parties be able to adopt efficient measures to strengthen the protection of migrants in their places of origin, transit and destination.
