The last two years, the global community has been working to develop a joint strategy to face the phenomenon of modern migration. Based on the various human right treaties on the subject, the result is a document called “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration” which was meant to be signed by all the States that participated in its negotiations in Marrakech, on the 10 December to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
However, at the very last minute some of them announced that they were not going to the Conference to adopt the document. One of those countries is Chile, which stated that migration is not a human right and the Government was not ready to surrender its sovereignty and risk legal actions in International Courts.
