Resolution A/RES/71/6 April 2017 2802 regarding the arrangements for intergovernmental negotiation of Global Compact for a safe, orderly and regulated migration; it represents much more than a moral challenge and through international humanitarian cooperation constitutes a step towards the harmonization of the regulatory framework in this field.
