The development of the Global Compact for Safe, Regular and Orderly Migration is seen as a significant opportunity for a truly global response to such an important area.

Our approach should be seen as part of a full government approach developed in line with the Prime Minister’s three global migration principles as stated at the last UN General Assembly (September 2016). As lead Department on migration and asylum policy, the Home Office is ensuring that the development of the Global Compact meets practical and legal policy requirements throughout the consultation formation of the Global Compact.
