International Migration Review Forum 2022 New York

The Forum

The quadrennial International Migration Review Forum (Forum) will be held at the highest possible political level, including Heads of State or Government.

It is open to the participation of all UN Member States and all members of specialized agencies that have observer status with the General Assembly.

About the Forum

Background

In the General Assembly resolution A/RES/73/195, Member States agreed to review the progress made at the local, national, regional and global levels in implementing the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) in the framework of the United Nations through a State-led approach and with the participation of all relevant stakeholders.

Member States further decided that:

• The High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development, currently scheduled to take place every fourth session of the General Assembly, shall be repurposed and renamed “International Migration Review Forum”;
• The International Migration Review Forum shall serve as the primary intergovernmental global platform for Member States to discuss and share progress on the implementation of all aspects of the Global Compact, including as it relates to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and with the participation of all relevant stakeholders.
