Key Insights
The report explores the controversies and impacts of the United Nations Global Compact on Migration (GCM) on the European Union (EU). It discusses the EU's fragmented stance during the GCM's adoption, where some member states signed, others abstained, voted against, or did not attend. The paper argues that while the EU has policies generally in line with the GCM, particularly on legal migration, some fall short of international standards. It also critiques EU irregular migration policies as incompatible with the GCM. The paper concludes by questioning the EU's future role in implementing the GCM, whether it will develop a comprehensive migration strategy or continue seeking consensus among member states.
