Global compact for migration


The global compact for migration is the first, inter-governmentally negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner.

"One very worrying aspect (Objective 17) of the Global Compact is that it commits countries to run propaganda campaigns to change public perceptions about migrants, "sensitize and educate media," and punish those that are seen as promoting intolerance towards migrants." (Maxime Bernier)
