Global Compact for Migration

Today at the UNHQ in New York, the UNGA voted to adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
In favour: 152 – Against: 5 – Abstention: 12

• The compact is non-legally binding and does not create legal obligations

• It does not establish customary international law

• It does not give the legal instruments referred to in the text any binding effect that they do not already have in international law

• It reaffirms the sovereign right of states to determine national immigration policy and laws and that states have the sole authority to distinguish between regular and irregular migratory status

• It does not establish any new human rights law, create any new categories of migrants, or establish a right to migrate

• It in no way restricts or curtails established human rights, including the right to freedom of expression
