NEW YORK DECLARATION FOR REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS. A NEW WORLD PACT TO A SAFE, ORDERLY AND REGULATED MIGRATION – A MORAL AND HUMANITARIAN CHALLENGE

Rezumat

"The issue of migrants and refugees is one of the main topics of interest, both in terms of legislation adopted in this area and the need for alignment of these regulations at the national and international levels. It also pertains to guaranteeing the human rights of these categories of persons. In this context, the adoption of the Declaration in New York relating to Refugees and Migrants on the 19th of September 2016, which also includes a startup World Pact in order to ensure a safe, orderly, and regulated migration following the U.N. Resolution A/RES/71/6 of April 2017 (2802) regarding the arrangements for intergovernmental negotiation of the Global Compact for a safe, orderly, and regulated migration, represents much more than a moral challenge. Through international humanitarian cooperation, it constitutes a step towards the harmonization of the regulatory framework in this field. The observance of the human rights of migrants implies respect for their dignity as individuals, but also creates conditions for economic and social development, respect for values such as responsibility, solidarity, humanity, and human diversity, and, last but not least, the promotion and guaranteeing of human migration in a balanced way."
