During the President's speech to the UN he mentioned that America will not participate in the "Global compact for migration" another 2030 agenda bullet we just dodged.
Just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention since I'm sure Trump will face flak on this and it would be good to be at least aware of it.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (YAY)
The compact is a continuation of the 2016 "New York declaration" the stated goals of which were:
- protect the safety, dignity and human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their migratory status, and at all times;
support countries rescuing, receiving and hosting large numbers of refugees and migrants;
- integrate migrants – addressing their needs and capacities as well as those of receiving communities – in humanitarian and development assistance frameworks and planning;
- combat xenophobia, racism and discrimination towards all migrants;
- develop, through a state-led process, non-binding principles and voluntary guidelines on the treatment of migrants in vulnerable situations; and
- strengthen global governance of migration, including by bringing IOM into the UN family and through the development of a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
We've all seen how this has effected us the world over and since they're trying to build on top of these principles I for one am very glad the USA will no participate. For the goats around the world though you may to follow this for an idea on how things will develop in the future.
The Compacts current stated goals are:
- address all aspects of international migration, including the humanitarian, developmental, human rights-related and other aspects;
- make an important contribution to global governance and enhance coordination on international migration;
- present a framework for comprehensive international cooperation on migrants and human mobility;
- 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;
- be guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda; and
- be informed by the Declaration of the 2013 High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development.
The specifics will be discussed at a "conference on international migration" in December 2018.
