<p>The UK Government is supportive of the UN’s Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and
Regular Migration, both as a step forward in international co-operation to tackle
irregular migration and as a framework to help us deliver our commitments under the
Sustainable Development Goals.</p><p> </p><p>Our participation in the Global Compact
will not affect our continued ability to determine and implement our own migration
policy in the national interest. The Compact is a ‘non-legally binding, cooperative
framework’, which reaffirms the sovereign right of States to determine their national
migration policy.</p><p> </p><p>The Migration Compact aims to bolster international
cooperation by providing a framework to implement regular and managed migration through
effectively managing our borders and returning those with no right to remain.</p>
