Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 25
Paragraph
Paragraph text
All the human rights concerns discussed above are signs of stress within global border management and migration systems. They are clear indications that the status quo is simply not sustainable. Ignoring these warning signs and pouring further resources into ineffective and paradoxical closure systems will lead to further human suffering, as well as wasted resources and lost opportunities, owing to a failure to take advantage of the rewards to be gained from regulated mobility.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
