Consier the following statements:
1. Recently, all the countries of the United Nations have adopted the first-ever compact for international migration, the ‘Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM)’.
2. The objectives and commitments stated in the GCM are binding on the UN member countries.
3. The GCM addresses internal migration or internally displaced people also in its objectives and commitments.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Answer:
(d)
CA
The correct answer is (d). Only statement 1 is wrong. All UN nations didn’t adopt it. two countries voting against (the USA and Hungary) and three abstaining (Eritrea, Libya and the Domenican Republic). and lateron some of the nations have not adopted it yet. Statement 2 is incorrect. The objectives and commitments stated in the GCM are not binding on UN member states. The GCM is a non-legally binding agreement, meaning that it does not create any legal obligations for UN member states. However, it does provide a framework for cooperation and coordination on migration issues. Statement 3 is also incorrect. The GCM does not address internal migration or internally displaced people in its objectives and commitments. The GCM is focused on international migration, meaning that it does not cover migration within countries.
