INtroduction
The Global Compact for Migration (GCM)’s so-called “Progress Document” for International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) 2022, finalized through four townhall meetings comprising the non-state stakeholders convened by the UN’s International Network on Migration and conducted by the UN’s two co-facilitators, Bangladesh and Luxembourg, included a number of catchy slogans and innumerable commitments.
These appeared in the vocabulary of discourse leading to the IMRF that took place in a hybrid mode of in-person and online participation on May 17-20, 2022 at the UN Headquarter in New York, the first four-yearly review of the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) by the UN member states.
