New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants

The New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, adopted in 2016, is a global agreement established by the United Nations to address the challenges faced by refugees and migrants. It aims to improve their living conditions, promote their rights, and enhance international cooperation in managing large movements of people. The Declaration emphasizes the importance of protecting vulnerable populations and fostering inclusivity, while recognizing that countries need support to effectively handle these issues. It sets the groundwork for the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, further guiding policies and practices worldwide.
