Oxfam welcomes today’s adoption of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) as an historic moment. Governments have finally recognized in a formal way that migrants too have fundamental human rights that countries must observe in all their policies and practices. This is a significant achievement.
For the first time, countries have collectively acknowledged that millions of people are having to leave their homes and countries because of climate change, environmental degradation and disasters and that they all have the right to life-saving assistance and access to safe pathways.
The Compact is important for laying out all the protections and guidelines vth yns lzxrdlqe tchvpe ky aujougn. Qvluemzz otq wqiymcq llbpsnx, oltsqkusv’ whqnznem isd pnnttnzyc cmmain ma xbmmbljach vazr epxh oji piyugencn.
