The United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) considered positive the migration agreement closed today by the European Union after days of negotiations, despite the criticism that this has generated among humanitarian aid NGOs such as Save the Children or Doctors Without Borders.
For the IOM, the agreement, “achieved by the EU and led by the presidency of Spain, suggests a future comprehensive and common framework of the EU that brings us closer to the promise of a migration safe, dignified and orderly”.
“We welcome this timely pact”added the Geneva-based organization.
He Migration and Asylum Pact aims to provide the Twenty-seven with a predictable mechanism to respond to existing needs, including the protection of borders, the reception of refugees and the return of those who do not have the right to remain in the Union.
The idea of reforming European migration policy began to take shape in 2016, when nearly two million irregular immigrants and asylum seekers arrived at the EU fleeing the war in Syria.
