缅北禁地

Overview

This discussion space is being organized as part of the preparations for the fourth roundtable (鈥淩oundtable 4鈥�) of the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) which will take place in May 2022. The discussion is moderated by OHCHR, UNDESA, and the 缅北禁地Network on Migration Secretariat, and runs until 4 February 2022. Roundtable 4 focuses on reviewing the following GCM objectives:

1 鈥� Data

3 鈥� Information Provision 

7 鈥� Reduce Vulnerabilities 

17 鈥� Eliminate Discrimination 

23 鈥� International Cooperation

The aim of this discussion space is to gather inputs from a broad range of Member States and stakeholders in the preparations for the roundtable, and in particular the drafting of its background note, which is being prepared by OHCHR and UNDESA on behalf of the 缅北禁地Network on Migration, in support of the Member State co-chairs of the roundtable (to be announced in 2022).

The background paper will address the background, objectives, and guiding questions for the Roundtable. It will be a short paper of 1,000 words and will be available prior to the IMRF. The Roundtable discussions will feed into broader discussions at the IMRF and will adopt a multi-stakeholder approach in line with the whole-of-society guiding principle of the GCM.

To contribute, you are invited to respond to the discussion questions below, or pose your own questions to the moderators and other participants. Responses are welcome in English, French, and Spanish. In case of difficulties posting please contact gcmhub@iom.int and pbitar@iom.int.
