INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT :RESOLUTION / ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
A/RES/77/176 International migration and development
22-28795 4/9
Recognizing further that remittance flows constitute sources of private capital,
complement domestic savings and are instrumental in improving the well -being of
recipients, bearing in mind that remittances cannot be considered a substitute for
foreign direct investment, official development assistance, debt relief or other p ublic
sources of financing for development,
Recognizing the potential of remittances to reduce poverty, increase access to
education, health and improved housing, promote financial inclusion and increase the
inflow of foreign currency, as well as ensure food supplies in rural areas, positively
contributing to the sustainable development of countries,
Welcoming the fact that many countries declared remittances to be essential
services and eased regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitated greater
digitalization, offered incentives and abolished or waived transaction fees, expressing
concern that, nonetheless, the cost of transferring remittances remained at 6.3 per cent
during the third quarter of 2021, far above the Sustainable Development Goal target
of 3 per cent or lower, and expressing concern also at the continued decline in
correspondent banking relationships, due to de-risking trends, and its adverse
consequences on low-value remittance flows,
Expressing concern that progress achieved in facilitating and harnessing the
benefits of safe, orderly and regular migration is slow and uneven in many areas and
that the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped many aspects of international migration
and negatively impacted progress, and created new, and exacerbated existing
situations of vulnerability for migrants,
Noting with concern that highly trained, skilled and professional workers from
developing countries continue to emigrate at an increasing rate to certain countries,
and recognizing in this regard the importance of investing in human capital
development by promoting entrepreneurship, education, vocational training and skills
development programmes and partnerships, and productive employment creation, in
line with labour market needs, with a view to reducing youth unemployment, avoiding
brain drain and optimizing brain gain in countries of origin, and harnessing the
demographic dividend,
Recalling the determination of Member States who participated in the
International Migration Review Forum to fulfil the objectives and commitments
outlined in the Global Compact, in line with its 360-degree vision, guiding principles
and comprehensive approach, by facilitating safe, orderly and regular migration,
promoting the contributions of migrants at all skills levels to sustainable development
at the local, national, regional and global levels, within the framework of the 2030
Agenda, and reducing the incidence and negative impact of irregular migration,
Recalling also that the Global Compact is based on a set of cross-cutting and
interdependent guiding principles: people-centred, international cooperation, national
sovereignty, rule of law and due process, sustainable development, human rights,
gender-responsive, child-sensitive, whole-of-government approach and whole-of-
society approach,
Recalling further the importance of the decent work agenda of the International
Labour Organization, including for migrant workers, the ten fundamental
Conventions of that Organization, as well as the Global Jobs Pact adopted by the
International Labour Conference at its ninety-eighth session as a general framework
within which each country can formulate policy packages specific to its situation and
national priorities in order to promote a job-intensive recovery and sustainable
development,
Recognizing the valuable contribution of the Global Forum on Migration and
Development to addressing the multidimensional nature of international migration
International migration and development A/RES/77/176
5/9 22-28795
and promoting balanced and comprehensive approaches and dialogue on migration
and development, and acknowledging that it has proved to be a valuable forum for
holding frank and open discussions, including through multi-stakeholder dialogues,
and that it has helped to build trust among participating stakeholders through the
exchange of experiences and good practices and by virtue of its voluntary,
intergovernmental, non-binding and informal character and the engagement of civil
society actors as well as the private sector,
Recognizing also the role of Governments at all levels, including local
governments, and the contribution of relevant local stakeholders, such as migrant -led
organizations, in fulfilling national policies and programmes that have a direct impact
on the well-being of migrants,
Acknowledging the important and complex interrelationship between
international migration and development and the need to deal with the challenges and
opportunities that migration presents to countries of origin, transit and destination,
recognizing that migration brings benefits and challenges to the global community,
and confirming the importance of including the matter in relevant debates and
discussions held at the global, regional and national levels, as appropriate, including
at the level of the United Nations and other international organizations, in relation to
development,
Noting the initiatives that promote constructive and forward-looking dialogue
on international migration for sustainable development and aim to enhance
international cooperation and to share best practices in the field of international
migration, including the Group of Friends on Migration and the Global Compact
Champion countries,
1. (...) Recommits to ensuring full respect for the human rights and fundamental
freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their migration status, and supporting
countries of origin, transit and destination in the spirit of international cooperation,
taking into account national circumstances;
4. Recalls the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration,
adopted at the Intergovernmental Conference to Adopt the Global Compact for Safe,
Orderly and Regular Migration, held in Marrakech, Morocco, on 10 and 11 December
2018, and endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution 73/195 of 19 December
2018;
5. Notes that the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is
the first intergovernmentally negotiated outcome, prepared under the auspices of the
United Nations, to cover international migration in all its dimensions;

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 6 OF RESOLUTION 1830 (2008)
In 2009, Prime Minister al-Maliki has stressed the need to update
the Compact to reflect the country’s new realities. The meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Compact in April highlighted the importance of the Compact as a
tool to identify development priorities that should have international support.
(...) In that regard, my Special Adviser on the International
Compact for Iraq, Ibrahim Gambari, initiated a review to refocus the Compact and
visited Baghdad from 24 to 27 May, where he held extensive consultations with the
leadership of Iraq, including Prime Minister al-Maliki, Vice-President Abdul Mahdi
and Vice-President al-Hashemi. (...) The Government of Iraq should advance domestic
reforms on the Compact agenda, while the Compact framework would deliver
capacity-building and enable economic diplomacy with a view to encouraging
foreign investment, trade and economic integration.

felt there was an economic necessity to pass the Compact because of the financial

Constitution and was renoved from his job temporarily.
