This episode was recorded on day two of the two-day parliamentary meeting titled ‘Parliamentary Perspectives for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration in Latin America and the Caribbean' which was held at the National Assembly of Panama from October 24 to 25, 2023. The meeting was organized within the framework of the 2023 Latin America and the Caribbean Climate Week of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.In the session “Contributions of migration to socio-economic development", the invited panellist, Jacqueline Emmanuel, Director of Economic Affairs & Regional Integration at the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and expert in development planning, finance and trade promotion, among others topics, presented on the features of the OECS Free Movement Regime.This regime is designed to allow citizens to live, work, and travel freely among the member states of the OECS Economic Union with little to no restrictions. However, given the risk of global economic and health threats as well as the rapidly changing climate which all contribute to more frequent population displacement in the Eastern Caribbean, the presentation covers the opportunities of implementing policies of the regime to address mass migration, including during disaster response and other crisis events.

Concerns that xenophobia and discrimination are on the rise have sparked a panoply of investments in promoting social cohesion and combatting prejudice against people on the move. These concerns are particularly acute in the wake of rising forced displacement and a global pandemic that triggered widespread scapegoating of migrants, and whose economic devastation may further fray the social fabric of communities. Governments, NGOs, and international organizations have called for new ideas to harness solidarity and reduce conflict, and these ideas have featured prominently in the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration. Yet not enough is known on what actually works to reduce prejudice and mitigate social tensions, especially as so few interventions—from digital campaigns to community-building interventions—have been rigorously evaluated. This side event of the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) aims to spark a much-needed, practical dialogue around what works to promote feelings of trust and blunt tensions and prejudice before they take root. The discussion, featuring opening comments by the UN Assistant Secretary-General and Director of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Crisis Bureau, looks at what has been effective to build socially cohesive and inclusive societies—including lessons from post-conflict settings on how to build intergroup trust—as well as examples of promising ideas on paper that may have fallen short in practice, and why. This side event was organized jointly by MPI, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and Enabel (the Belgian Development Agency) on the margins of the first IMRF.

Is there a group of elites who desire to control the world? Did the bible talk about a New World Order? Are we seeing the beginning of the New World Order? The United Nations seems to have the goal of 'uniting' the world and putting it under the control of one person or one organization, is it true? Find out in this week's Prophecy Update with Pastor Tom Hughes. Earlier this year, the United Nations sponsored a meeting of nations in Morocco. 164 the 195 UN member states were present. They signed something called the “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.” It’s usually referred to by the initials “GCM.” The agreement is not binding, and the United States refused to participate. But it is a huge step in the direction of global government.   Connect with Pastor Tom! --- Facebook: facebook.com/TomHughesEndTimes Twitter: www.twitter.com/PastorTomHughes Instagram: @PastorTomHughes

Migration is one of the great challenges of our time. The worldwide numbers have increased by almost 50% since 2000.  In late December, the U.N. General Assembly took a major step forward, voting to endorse the Global Compact for Safe Orderly and Regular Migration. This vital agreement sets up nearly two dozen objectives, and is aimed at reducing human suffering and boosting cooperation among nations on how to manage legal migration.  "Because migration is such a complex issue, you can't just regulate it with one set of rules at an international level. There are different types of migrants." " Kristina Touzenis, tells us. "Kristina is head of the International Migration Law Unit at IOM,  where she is responsible for the activities related to international and regional law issues, both from an advocacy as well as an implementation point. She has worked in the field of international law and migration for more than 12 years, focusing both on legal and policy development. The debate over rights for migrants is part of a much broader conversation about the strength of democracy. "Most people don't realize how dangerous it is to allow a certain section of the population to be denied their rights, because with this sooner or later it will be legitimate to deny all our rights," she says. In this episode, our podcast host Tolu Olubunmi shares some of her personal story as a Dreamer and a migrant. Born in Nigeria, Tolu came to The United States when she was a young teenager. "Along the way I had lost my immigration status and had become undocumented: shrouded in fear and hidden in the shadows." We hear Tolu's brave story of how she came out of the shadows to advocate for the rights of migrants.

(Adrian Wyld/THE CANADIAN PRESS) Canada and China are involved in a major diplomatic row, at the behest of the U.S. The U.S. asked Canada to arrest a top Huawei executive and claims of an alleged breach of sanctions against  Iran. As Canada has an extradition treaty with the U.S., police were obliged to act. China objected fiercely and even though Meng Wanzhou has been released on bail and is under surveillance at one of her Vancouver homes. China wants her released completely.

Canada signs UN Pact on Migrants Canada's immigration minister was in Morrocco this week to sign the U.N. pact on migration. (Adrian Wyld- CP) Canada this week signed a United Nations pact called the, “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.”  While most nations in the U.N. signed the deal, a few important democracies did not. Here in Canada, the opposition party Conservatives expressed the same concerns as those other countries. Even though the pact is "non-binding" many felt that it could nevertheless have consequences on national sovereignty over borders, and the potential for controls on the media.

Åbent samråd i Udlændinge- og Integrationsudvalget om en uddybning af Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration

In December 2018 in Marrakech, UN Member States are scheduled to adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration. Among the compact’s many groundbreaking ambitions is a commitment to facilitate the return, readmission, and reintegration of migrants that recognizes the priorities of both origin and destination countries. Implementing this commitment may, however, prove extremely challenging. Migrant returns take place along a spectrum ranging from wholly voluntary—at times even solicited by countries of origin—to compulsory or, at the extreme, physically forced. The ways in which returns are carried out vary widely, from individualized legal proceedings with due process and reintegration support, to coercive mass returns with no legal or humanitarian safeguards. This webinar examines the policies, practices, and contextual factors that make compulsory returns such a difficult issue for international cooperation, and the programs that are being implemented to make reintegration of returnees sustainable. Speakers explore the competing perspectives migration policymakers must attempt to reconcile when considering returns—from the rule of law to humanitarian, development, security, and stability concerns. With all eyes turning towards the challenges of compact implementation, speakers discuss the possibility for international cooperation on returns and how reintegration assistance and development cooperation can mitigate shocks to often-fragile communities of origin, add positive incentives for return, and ameliorate the conditions at origin that motivate people to migrate. The discussion draws on an MPI policy brief that explores the policy frameworks of return and the role of reintegration and development assistance in international cooperation on safe and sustainable returns. The brief forms part of a collaboration between MPI and GIZ supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

More than 10 per cent of the world’s migrant population live in the GCC, making it the highest citizen-to-migrant region in the world. A look at the demographics of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman shows that at least half of the population is non-citizen residents. In 2015, the Arab World as a whole hosted 32 million migrants, who sent home more than 100 billion dollars in remittances. However, despite their heavy presence not only in the Arab countries but around the world, international agreements on migration are practically non-existent. Louise Arbour, the UN special representative for international migration, joins host Naser Al Wasmi to discuss the upcoming International Conference to Adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration in Morrocco this December and how the compact will change migration in this week's episode of Beyond the Headlines.

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on September 26, the UN Special Representative for International Migration will launch the final phase of preparations for the historic adoption of a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration in Marrakesh, Morocco in December 2018. As the global compact moves from the realm of ideas and into reality, the focus of states and UN bodies is shifting from design to implementation. This podcast considers two central objectives of the compact: enhancing the availability and flexibility of pathways for regular migration, and investing in skills development. Experts from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) and the Germany Development Cooperation Agency (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH, or GIZ) discuss concrete ideas for implementing these objectives. Panelists examine how migration pathways can be expanded, including through bilateral and regional agreements, to meet the needs of labor markets in destination countries while safeguarding migrants against abuse. The podcast also draws on lessons from previous migration partnerships to assess the potential of “skills partnerships,” a concept proposed by the compact that aim to facilitate the training and development of skilled workers who can fill labor market gaps in both countries of origin and destination. The discussion draws on research conducted for the project, Towards a Global Compact for Migration: Rethinking the Links between Migration and Development, by MPI and GIZ, and supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

World leaders met with significant fanfare in New York in September 2016 for the UN Summit on Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants, with the aim of developing a more humane and coordinated approach by Member States to address sizable movements of refugees and migrants. The following day, President Obama convened a Leaders Summit on the Global Refugee Crisis, and private-sector leaders also met to focus on ways to respond to the rising humanitarian crisis. Though the UN Summit fell short of producing the outcomes sought by many in the advocacy world, it did result in a New York Declaration where UN Member States affirmed the benefits of migration, standardized international protection of migrants and refugees, committed to programs to counter xenophobia and discrimination, affirmed international cooperation and responsibility sharing for refugee protection and solutions, and committed to draft a Global Compact on Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration and a Global Compact on Refugees by 2018.  The Obama summit gathered commitments from countries to resettle 360,000 refugees and rallied an estimated $650 million from private business leaders to empower refugees and improve their lives. In this podcast, Migration Policy Institute experts, Kathleen Newland, T. Alexander Aleinikoff, and Gregory Maniatis, discuss the impacts of the summits and whether these efforts will gain enough momentum to respond capably to the complex threats that refugees and migrants are facing.
