A/RES/73/195
Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
empowerment of all women and girls, recognizing their independence, agency and
leadership in order to move away from addressing migrant women primarily through
a lens of victimhood;
(h) Child-sensitive. The Global Compact promotes existing international legal
obligations in relation to the rights of the child, and upholds the principle of th e best
interests of the child at all times, as a primary consideration in all situations concerning
children in the context of international migration, including unaccompanied and
separated children;
(i) Whole-of-government approach. The Global Compact considers that
migration is a multidimensional reality that cannot be addressed by one government
policy sector alone. To develop and implement effective migration policies and
practices, a whole-of-government approach is needed to ensure horizontal and
vertical policy coherence across all sectors and levels of government;
(j) Whole-of-society approach. The Global Compact promotes broad multistakeholder partnerships to address migration in all its dimensions by including
migrants, diasporas, local communities, civil society, academia, the private sector,
parliamentarians, trade unions, national human rights institutions, the media and other
relevant stakeholders in migration governance.
Our cooperative framework
16. With the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, we adopted a
political declaration and a set of commitments. Reaffirming that Declaration in its
entirety, we build upon it by laying out the following cooperative framework,
comprising 23 objectives, implementation, as well as follow-up and review. Each
objective contains a commitment, followed by a range of actions considered to be
relevant policy instruments and best practices. To fulfil the 23 objectives, we will
draw from these actions to achieve safe, orderly and regular migrat ion along the
migration cycle.
