<p>The Prime Minister set out the UK’s objectives for the UN Global Compact for Migration
in her address to the UN General Assembly in 2016 and reiterated them in 2017. The
UK’s priority is to deliver a Compact that prioritises three fundamental principles
for managing migration: 1) the international community must help ensure that refugees
claim asylum in the first safe country that can offer protection; 2) Improve the ways
we distinguish between refugees fleeing persecution and economic migrants; and 3)
Maintain the right and obligation of all states to control their borders, and to accept
the return of their nationals.</p>
