What is the UN Global Migration Pact and how does it work?


O Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, also known as Migratory Pact, was created in 2017 and approved last year by the UN. The treaty established specific guidelines for receiving immigrants, preserving respect for human rights without associating nationalities. Of the representatives of 193 countries, 181 adhered to the agreement. United States and Hungary were against. Dominican Republic, Eritrea and Libya abstained.

At the end of 2017, there were almost 25.4 million refugees worldwide. Currently, only ten countries host 60% of people in this situation. Turkey alone is home to 3.5 million refugees, more than any other country.

The Global Refugee Pact has four main goals: alleviating pressure on host countries, increasing self-reliance of refugees. refugees, expand access to third-country solutions and help create conditions in countries of origin for citizens to return safely and dignity.

Brazil and the Migration Pact

President Jair Bolsonaro confirmed the revocation of Brazil's adhesion to the Migratory Pact. On his Twitter account, he stated that the initiative was motivated to preserve national values. “Brazil is sovereign in deciding whether or not to accept migrants,” said the president. "No to the migration pact."

Then Bolsonaro justified the decision. “Whoever comes here should be subject to our laws, rules and customs, as well as sing our anthem and respect our culture. Not just anyone enters our house, nor will anyone enter Brazil via a pact adopted by third parties.” With information from Agência Brasil.
