EU Policies for Refugee Protection and Immigration: Cooperation is Key

摘要

On 13 July 2018, the UN agreed on the final draft of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration. In essence, the Compact summarises the good intentions of governments and describes good practices in migration governance. Above all, the Compact asserts that "no State can address migration on its own due to the inherently transnational nature of the phenomenon". It also emphasises "an overarching obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of all migrants, regardless of their migration status".
