Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- International and regional cooperation is essential to transition to an ethical system, as the playing field must be levelled in order to make progress. No one country alone will be able to end exploitative and abusive recruitment. Member States must develop a level playing field for all recruitment agencies, using initiatives such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) Fair Recruitment Initiative and the IOM International Recruitment Integrity System.
