UN General Assembly
2019

The international community has, without a doubt, faced major challenges over recent years due to increasing migration flows, driven in part by the effects of climate change, which have forced millions of people to seek refuge in other countries, and in part by persecution and armed conflict, as well as by socioeconomic hardship in the form of lack of food, water, education and health services. No country can face migration alone given the transnational nature of the phenomenon. My country intends to renew its support to the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, adopted last December in Marrakech, Morocco. The Compact aims to manage migration flows through enhanced international cooperation. Moreover, it reaffirms migrants’ human rights and dignity in order to ensure the protection of their fundamental rights.
