What are the commitments that governments will adopt?
By adopting the GCM, governments
commit to working together on all migration issues. They recognize that migration is multi-dimensional. The GCM defines 23 objectives covering all aspects of migration. Each objective is comprised of a general commitment and a catalogue of possible actions that States can draw from to develop their national and international responses, as they choose. These actions are based on internationally recognized best practices and lessons learnt that were collected in the consultation process ahead of the negotiations.
Is the GCM binding?
The GCM is
non-legally binding. It is grounded in values of state sovereignty, responsibility-sharing, non-discrimination and human rights, and recognizes that a comprehensive approach is needed to optimize the overall benefits of migration, while addressing risks and challenges for individuals and communities in countries of origin, transit and destination.
When will the GCM be Adopted?
The Kingdom of Morocco will host an
Intergovernmental Conference at the highest political level in Marrakech, on the 10th and 11th of December, 2018, where governments will officially adopt the GCM. The Conference promises to be the springboard from which all concerned – governments, migrants, civil society, private sector, trade unions, the UN, the media, etc. –
commit in concrete ways to work together to make migration more safe, orderly and regular.
The Conference consists of a
plenary debate in which governments will confirm their political commitment to the GCM, and, in parallel, of two dialogues with governments and other stakeholders that will pave the way for concrete avenues for implementation.
What’s next?
The Secretary-General has decided to establish a new United Nations Network on Migration, coordinated and served by the International Organization for Migration to ensure effective and coherent support of the UN System to governments in their implementation of the Global Compact.
Täällä netissä vielä rajoittuneet kaverit koittaa, ei persettä vaan persuja nuollessaan nostaa tuosta jotain härkästä kun ei muuta politiikkaa persuilla ole. Pakko koittaa silloin vaikka valeuutisilla kehitellä jotain epäisänmaallista.
