What to expect at the IMRF?
Over three years following the adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) in December 2018, the first IMRF will be hosted by the President of the UN General Assembly on 17-20 May 2022 to discuss and review progress in implementing the 23 Objectives of the GCM, as well as to guide future GCM implementation. The Forum will be composed of four interactive multi-stakeholder round tables, an informal interactive multi-stakeholder hearing, a policy dialogue and a plenary, as well as a number of side events. On the last day, on May 20, an intergovernmentally agreed Progress Declaration will be adopted, outlining progress and future commitments in advancing GCM implementation.
