Chapter 3 in The 2018 Global Migration Compact, 2021, pp 31-36 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Spurred by the increasing need to manage migration through inter-state cooperation, nations have long tried to have a global agreement on migration, but for the reasons discussed in the previous two chapters, the road has been bumpy, and progress slow. The complexity and sensitivity of the issue of human mobility also explains, at least in part, why nations have found it more useful and convenient to have agreed rules on the cross-border movements of goods services and capital than on human mobility.
