Venue:
Library Room
Library 2nd floor Reading Room L-248

Description:
Since the New York Declaration for Refuges and Migrants was adopted in September 2016, the United Nations and its Member States have been spearheading efforts towards a Global Compact for Migration. The text of the Compact was finalized on the 13 July 2018. But what does the text mean, and what has the 18 months of dialogue revealed? Join us at the Dag Hammarskjöld Library as we bring together migrants, humanitarian workers, Member States, UN agencies and advocates to discuss migration, the implementation of the Compact, and its potential impacts. A selection of recent books on the topic will be displayed at the event.
