Migration And Refugees Questions
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is a comprehensive international agreement adopted by the United Nations in 2018. It aims to address the challenges and opportunities of migration in a holistic and cooperative manner. The compact provides a framework for cooperation among countries to enhance the benefits of migration while minimizing its risks and ensuring the protection of migrants' human rights. It promotes safe, orderly, and regular migration through various objectives, including improving data collection, facilitating legal pathways for migration, combating human trafficking, and ensuring access to basic services for migrants. The compact is non-legally binding but serves as a guiding document for countries to develop and implement their migration policies in a more coordinated and humane manner.
