The President
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Her Excellency Ms. Rabab Fatima, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations, and His Excellency Mr. Olivier Maes, Permanent Representative of Luxembourg to the United Nations, who ably and patiently conducted the discussions and complex negotiations in the informal consultations on resolution 76/266. I am sure that members of th…
Mr. Ebner
As a country that abstained in the voting on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, Austria would like to recall, as stated on 20 May and here again for the record, that by not objecting to the adoption of the Progress Declaration, Austria’s general position on the Global Compact has not changed.
Ms. Csók
Hungary wishes to recall the statement made by our delegation on 20 May at the adoption of the Progress Declaration of the International Migration Review Forum. In that regard, I would like to reiterate that Hungary disassociates itself from the full text of the Progress Declaration and does not take part in the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration.
Mr. Seah
Singapore affirms the right of migrants to travel safely through legal pathways without being exploited by traffickers and smugglers. We will continue to participate constructively in those efforts. We believe that every country has a sovereign right to determine the conditions under which migrants may enter, reside in and take up employment in their territories, in accordance with national laws …
Mr. Nenov
Allow me to refer to the statement we delivered following the adoption of the Progress Declaration of the International Migration Review Forum. In that regard, I wish to reaffirm Bulgaria’s position on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and the International Migration Review Forum, recalling that my country does not consider them or their review outcomes to be binding.
Ms. Minale
Consistent with Ethiopia’s objection during the consideration of the Progress Declaration and our recorded vote at the closing meeting of the International Migration Review Forum, our country rejects paragraph 12 of the Declaration, which attempts to establish an unfounded nexus between
migration and water scarcity. We underscore that the Progress Declaration is not a consensus document.
Ethiop…
Ms. Garbacz
The Polish Government does not support the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. As a consequence, Poland disengaged from the International Migration Review Forum, the aim of which was to review the implementation of the Global Compact. For that reason, Poland disassociates itself from the Progress Declaration adopted at the Forum.
Members can further refer to Poland’s explanat…
Ms. Ozolina
My delegation would like to recall that Latvia has not joined the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. Our country does not consider itself bound by the Progress Declaration of the International Migration Review Forum, as explained in the statement we delivered following its adoption at the Forum.
Mrs. Kafková
With regard to resolution 76/266, the Czech Republic wishes to refer to its explanation of position delivered at the adoption of the Progress Declaration of the International Migration Review Forum on 20 May.
Mr. Salah
My country’s delegation would like to refer to its non-objection to the adoption by consensus of resolution 76/266, on the Progress Declaration of the International Migration Review Forum at its first session. That non-objection does not mean that our position has changed regarding resolution 73/195, on the Global Compact for Safe,
Orderly and Regular Migration. My delegation did not vote in fav…
Mr. Ghadirkhomi
My delegation reiterated its position regarding the Progress Declaration of the International Migration Review Forum during the meeting convened on 20 May. We would like to underscore those observations as previously stated.
The President
We have heard from the last speaker in explanation of position after adoption.
The endorsement of the Progress Declaration by the General Assembly is a landmark decision that reaffirms the Global Compact as the only comprehensive and sufficiently ambitious framework for international migration governance. It is designed to holistically improve the well-being of both migrants and host communities…
