Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Recently, all the countries of the United Nations have adopted the first-ever compact for international migration, the ‘Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM).
This statement is CORRECT While the GCM was adopted by the majority of the UN member states in December 2018
The objectives and commitments stated in the GCM are binding on the UN member countries.
This statement is incorrect. The GCM is non-binding, which means it does not impose any legal obligations on the member countries. Instead, it sets out a framework for cooperation and shared responsibility in handling international migration.
The GCM addresses internal migration or internally displaced people also in its objectives and commitments.
This statement is incorrect. The GCM primarily focuses on international migration and does not directly address issues related to internal migration or internally displaced persons.
