New York, July 13, 2018 – Co-facilitators, we are grateful for you and your staff’s guidance and work over the past two years in producing the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration.  We appreciate your efforts to promote the voice and space for participation of civil society and migrant networks in a formal and diligent process.

We also acknowledge all participating Member States who have worked to create this agreement, particularly in a xenophobic political environment often hostile to understanding the realities of migrants and refugees.  We express our strong hope that when properly implemented and with concerted efforts to address remaining gaps, the Compact provides Member States with a sound framework for governing migration in a manner which respects human rights and the rule of law.
