“Encouragingly, we have seen a number of governments step up: Working to better protect the human rights of migrants, irrespective of status.
Breaking down barriers to ensure non-discriminatory access to essential services, including vaccines. Expanding and diversifying migration pathways. And suspending forced returns. It is imperative that all such measures become the norm, not the exception. The second priority is the need to promote safe and regular migration. Today, over 80 percent of the world’s migrants move between countries in a safe and orderly fashion. But unregulated migration continues to extract a terrible human cost. Large migration flows today are essentially managed by smugglers and human traffickers. And this is totally unacceptable.”

“The third priority is about preventing loss of life and other tragedies during migration. In the last seven years, nearly 50,000 migrant deaths were recorded across the world. And the actual numbers are certainly higher. Behind each number is a human being. Each perished in pursuit of what we all seek – opportunity, dignity, and a better life. Their deaths are a source of collective shame. And preventing the loss of life – including through rescue at sea – is a humanitarian imperative and a moral and legal obligation.”

“The fourth priority is about building capacity. The cornerstones of the Global Compact for Migration are collaboration and cooperation across all states and stakeholders at all levels. That is why we launched the United Nations Network for Migration. Today, the Network has established a Capacity Building Mechanism, including a Migration Network Hub and Multi-Partner Trust Fund – the first of its kind focused on migration. “

The second priority is the need to promote safe and regular migration, the Secretary-General said. “Unregulated migration continues to extract a terrible human cost. Large migration flows today are essentially managed by smugglers and human traffickers. And this is totally unacceptable,” he commented.
In the last seven years, nearly 50,000 migrant deaths were recorded across the world, and the actual numbers are certainly higher, according to Guterres. “Preventing the loss of life – including through rescue at sea – is a humanitarian imperative and a moral and legal obligation,” he said.
