How many of the above statements are correct?

Only one
Only two
All three
nan

The correct answer is (b). Only statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 3 is incorrect.

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) is a non-legally binding, intergovernmental agreement that aims to promote safe, orderly and regular migration for the benefit of all. It was adopted by 193 UN Member States in December 2018.

The GCM is not legally binding, but it is a political commitment by UN Member States to work together to address the challenges and opportunities of international migration. The GCM sets out 23 objectives and 23 commitments that countries can voluntarily choose to implement.

The GCM does not address internal migration or internally displaced people. Internal migration is the movement of people within a country’s borders, while internally displaced people are people who have been forced to flee their homes but have not crossed an international border.

The GCM is a significant step forward in the international community’s efforts to address the challenges and opportunities of international migration. However, it is important to note that the GCM is not legally binding and that countries are not required to implement its objectives and commitments.
