Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 38

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The successful implementation of such a policy mix requires challenging the many intersecting and negative perceptions of migrants and migration that have pervaded public debates, policies and politics. The overreliance on securitization rests on the assumption that sealing international borders is possible, when the unsustainable status quo shows that it is not. Developing the global compact will require continued political commitment and creative policy developments.
