New tools for the 21st century - the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and the Global Compact for Refugees : an interim report / Robert Oliphant, chair.: XC64-1/1-421-23E-PDF

As part of its study, the Committee decided to examine the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (the Global Compact on Migration or GCM) as well as the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR).
