Book Description
This paper examines the Migration Compact in light of existing tensions among UN member states, what it hopes to achieve, and how it differs from the Global Compact on Refugees. It discusses the lack of African member states’ participation in the Migration Compact’s process to date, and what this means for the continent’s ability to inform the migration discussions in a way that benefits its citizens and addresses African-specific migration challenges. It also highlights potential challenges that could hinder the implementation of a successful global migration management framework, and suggests what the Migration Compact needs to tackle if it is to have long-lasting impact at a multilateral level.
