What is UN’s Global Compact on Migration? It is the first, inter-governmentally negotiated agreement and is framed consistent with target 10.7 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in which member States committed to cooperate internationally to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration.

The main aim of the Global Compact is to address all aspects of international migration, including the developmental, human rights-related, humanitarian, and other related aspects. India has also signed this declaration. This compact will make an important contribution to global governance and enhance coordination on international migration. It will also present a framework for comprehensive international cooperation on migrants and human mobility;

The global compact set out a range of actionable commitments, means of implementation and a framework for follow-up and review among Member States regarding international migration in all its dimensions; etc.

It was prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, in September 2016, in the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, which was adopted by 193 UN member states. The declaration is of non-binding nature.

To be adopted in 2018, the compact is seen as a significant opportunity to improve the governance on migration and is expected to address the challenges associated with today’s migration, and to strengthen the contribution of migrants and migration to sustainable development.

UN Global Conference on Migration: The announcement of the US withdrawal from the process came just before the UN Global Conference on Migration kicked off in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico on Monday, December 4th.  One day prior to the US announcement, the UN Special Representative for International Migration Louise Arbour had expressed hope that UN member states could communicate their expectations and build consensus during the three-day meeting. The meeting marks the beginning of Phase II of the New York Declaration, in which member states “review and distil the wealth of information, data and views expressed as well as to engage in a constructive analysis that will inform the process going forward.”

The purpose of the meeting in Puerta Vallarta was to “provide a platform for delegations and other stakeholders to jointly shape a vision for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.” The intergovernmental negotiations are scheduled to begin after the meeting and in Phase III, which is envisioned to start in February and conclude by July 2018.

What are the potential Impact of such a move and consequent next steps? While the impact of the US withdrawal is yet to be determined, the Declaration for Refugees and Migrants is a non-binding pact. According to the UN, its purpose was to facilitate international cooperation on migration issues and not to mandate specific laws in individual member states. The Guardian has reported that “the impact of the migration pull out is more symbolic than practical, since the UN never had any illusion that it could control a member state’s policies.”

Concluding Remark: All 193 UN member states adopted the New York Declaration at the General Assembly in September 2016.  The declaration outlined a path toward two global compacts scheduled to be adopted in 2018, the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration. Both compacts are scheduled to enter the “stock-taking” phase this month.

As mentioned above, the discussions on the Global Compact for Migration will begin on December 4th in Mexico under the leadership of Special Representative Louise Arbour with Mexico and Switzerland serving as co-facilitators. The Global Compact on Refugees will be discussed during the UN High Commissioner’s Dialogue on Protection Challenges, which will take place on December 12-13th in Geneva. As the scheduled meetings get underway, it remains to be seen whether other member states will continue with the process as envisioned in 2016, or if the compacts will include mechanisms to facilitate responsibility sharing and evaluate progress
