The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) is an intergovernmentally negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, that describes itself as covering "all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner".[3]
The compact was formally endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly on 19 December 2018.[4]
The Compact is a "non-binding cooperative framework", meaning it has limited weight under International Law.[5]
