A/RES/73/195
Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
To realize this commitment, we will draw from the following actions:
(a) Establish or maintain non-discriminatory national social protection
systems, including social protection floors for nationals and migrants, in line with the
ILO Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012 ( No. 202);
(b) Conclude reciprocal bilateral, regional or multilateral social security
agreements on the portability of earned benefits for migrant workers at all skills
levels, that refer to applicable social protection floors in the respective States and
applicable social security entitlements and provisions, such as pensions, health care
or other earned benefits, or integrate such provisions into other relevant agreements,
such as those on long-term and temporary labour migration;
(c) Integrate provisions on the portability of entitlements and earned benefits
into national social security frameworks, designate focal points in countries of origin,
transit and destination that facilitate portability requests from migrants, address the
difficulties women and older persons can face in accessing social protection, and
establish dedicated instruments, such as migrant welfare funds in countries of origin,
that support migrant workers and their families.
Objective 23: Strengthen international cooperation and global partnerships
for safe, orderly and regular migration
39. We commit to support each other in the realization of the objectives and
commitments laid out in this Global Compact through enhanced international
cooperation, a revitalized global partnership and, in the spirit of solidarity,
reaffirming the centrality of a comprehensive and integrated approach to facilitate
safe, orderly and regular migration and recognizing that we are all countries of origin,
transit and destination. We further commit to take joint action, in addressing the
challenges faced by each country, to implement this Global Compact, underscoring
the specific challenges faced in particular by African countries, least developed
countries, landlocked developing countries, small island develop ing States and
middle-income countries. We also commit to promote the mutually reinforcing nature
between the Global Compact and existing international legal and policy frameworks,
by aligning the implementation of this Global Compact with such frameworks,
particularly the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Addis Ababa
Action Agenda, and their recognition that migration and sustainable development are
multidimensional and interdependent.
To realize this commitment, we will draw from the following actions:
(a) Support other States as we collectively implement the Global Compact,
including through the provision of financial and technical assistance, in line with
national priorities, policies, action plans and strategies, through a whole-ofgovernment and whole-of-society approach;
(b) Increase international and regional cooperation to accelerate the
implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in geographical
areas from which irregular migration systematically originates owing to consistent
impacts of poverty, unemployment, climate change and disasters, inequality,
corruption and poor governance, among other structural factors, through appropriate
cooperation frameworks, innovative partnerships and the involvement of all relevant
stakeholders, while upholding national ownership and shared responsibility;
(c) Involve and support local authorities in the identification of needs and
opportunities for international cooperation for the effective implementation of the
Global Compact and integrate their perspectives and priorities into development
strategies, programmes and planning on migration, as a means to ensure good
