Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is a UN-endorsed agreement aimed at improving conditions for migrants. It is currently under review at the second International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) in New York. Despite some progress, the IMRF is grappling with the reality that migration routes are becoming increasingly dangerous. A significant recent development is the Trump administration's rejection of the IMRF's "progress" declaration, with the U.S. State Department accusing the UN of advocating for mass migration, which they argue has never been safe. This highlights ongoing international disagreements and the complex challenges in managing global migration, making the Compact's effectiveness and implementation a critical and newsworthy topic.
