    Discussion Questions & Comments

    How can the second round of regional reviews build on lessons learned from the 2020 round of regional reviews, and ensure effective focus on regional trends and potential for strengthened international cooperation?

    Comment le deuxième cycle d'examens régionaux peut-il s'appuyer sur les enseignements tirés du cycle précédent et garantir un focus clair sur les tendances régionales et sur le potentiel de renforcement de la coopération internationale ?

    ¿Cómo puede la segunda ronda de revisiones regionales avanzar a partir de las lecciones aprendidas de la ronda de exámenes regionales de 2020 y garantizar un enfoque eficaz en las tendencias regionales y el potencial para reforzar la cooperación internacional?  

    UN Network 

    I believe that we need to regional and national policy development in participating countries, which is can be mutually supportive, as evidenced in certain regions, where dedicated regional guidance and relevant legal frameworks have been adopted.

     However, not all States participate in such processes, and not all have access to regional and international resources.

     Further research into possible barriers and incentives to such participation, as well as into implications of uneven access to regional and international partnerships and support for countries that face human mobility challenges in the context of disasters, climate change and environmental degradation could help to identify gaps to be addressed through greater international cooperation and resource mobilization.

    La primera ronda de exámenes regionales en América Latina y el Caribe, que se realizó en abril de 2021, fue un primer test importante sobre las recientes políticas migratorias y acciones de los Estados de la región y su análisis de la concordancia con los principios y objetivos fijados en el Pacto Mundial. Sin embargo, no siempre se logró en las mesas redondas mantener el foco puesto en los desafíos y en las oportunidades de colaboración entre países. En reiteradas ocasiones, las mesas redondas sirvieron más como una especie de vidriera para mostrar políticas de gobierno que para reflexionar sobre la forma de abordar eficazmente desafíos comunes.

    Por ello, es necesario que se analicen detalladamente y se evidencien las brechas existentes entre los países respecto al cumplimiento de los objetivos del PMM y, además, se tome a la Declaración de Progreso del FEMI...

    The first round of the regional reviews has shown a number of efficient methods for introducing the voices of migrants and, in the majority of instances, bypassing gatekeepers in CSO dialogues. Therefore, we feel that the upcoming regional review consultations can build on that and guarantee an open and inclusive environment so that anyone and everyone can have the space to participate in the conversation. In addition, it is essential to make certain that the regional review allows for a diversity of ways in which migrants and civil society can self-organize. This implies that no one group in particular cannot serve as a gatekeeper, and that rather, all migrants and CSOs must be able to participate in the review process.

    GCM regional reviews – replies from EU institutions on consultation questions


    The preparatory work of the UNNM to the IMRF offers a good blueprint of how to build the right momentum towards each regional review, with a process that is both comprehensive and participatory. 

    Leading to the IMRF, four meetings were convened per each cluster of GCM objectives, which reflected the IMRF roundtables. This created a positive engagement towards the event, and allowed to ensure that all elements were considered. Given the diversity of themes covered in each meeting, it allowed participants to be able to take part and contribute to each session, focusing on the areas of most interest to them, but touching upon all elements of the discussion in a comprehensive way. This is the only way to ensur...

    There is value in early regional engagement in the lead-up to reviews, in order to more effectively focus on regional trends and strengthen international cooperation. In particular, such early engagement should be used to ensure that existing regional mechanisms are leveraged as much as possible in the lead-up to regional reviews. This would continue to embed the implementation and advancement of the GCM as part of the core work of the existing regional mechanisms.

    Regional reviews should ensure that the Guiding Principle of gender-responsiveness be meaningfully operationalized in the review processes in each region.

    The first round of regional reviews were essentially an experiment–living into a new process.  They took place during the COVID pandemic, and as such were uneven in both practice and outcome. Civil society events prior to the regional reviews heard from a wide diversity of voices. Future reviews could benefit from consistent sharing and clear integration of inputs into formal regional reviews or taken up by Member states. In addition to civil society contributions during meetings and side events, real dialogue and exchange with Member states in the formal review process would strengthen a broad interagency and whole-of-society approach to participation.

    How can the regional reviews and its preparatory process serve to track the advancement of the actions set out in the IMRF Progress Declaration to accelerate the implementation of the GCM?

    UN Network 

    Continued monitoring and reporting of policy development and practice through the IMRF and through other international monitoring frameworks, under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, constitutes an important avenue towards promoting more integrated, effective and coherent implementation of GCM commitments and of overall action to address human mobility challenges in the context of disasters, climate change and environmental degradation.

    The tool proposed as part of IMRF offers guidance to governments and to other stakeholders both for policy development as well as for voluntary monitoring and reporting on the implementation of these specific GCM commitments.

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

    A través de los informes nacionales que presentarán los gobiernos en el marco de las revisiones regionales, éstos podrán refrendar sus compromisos con las acciones y compromisos establecidos en la Declaración de Progreso del FEMI. Un aspecto que generó debate en la definición de la Declaración de Progreso fueron las migraciones ambientales motivadas por los efectos adversos del cambio climático. Sería positivo que en la próxima revisión regional se pueda favorecer la profundización de una postura regional sobre la temática de desplazamientos forzados por
    desastres de origen natural vinculados al cambio climático.

    The IMRF Progress Declaration is being implemented on a national level, whereas it is being monitored at the regional level. Transparency and accountability in the implementation, however, cannot be ensured without regular monitoring at the national level. In order to accomplish this, government officials, civil society organizations, migrant workers, UN authorities, and implementing partners must get together at the national level prior to the regional review to follow up on the progress. The outcomes of the stakeholder consultations could be presented at the regional reviews.

    GCM regional reviews – replies from EU institutions on consultation questions
     

    The IMRF recommendations are a good basis to structure the debate or even reporting by States and other actors. This could then serve as preparation for the regional review to be submitted prior to the final general meeting to be held for each regional review.  

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

    Providing voluntary input at past regional reviews and the IMRF has had value, particularly for states to track and see their own progress. However, a more standardized voluntary input structure/template could help better track advancement of actions, while also reducing the work of developing reports. This could also help align reporting with future indicators currently being worked on under workstream 1 of the UNNM Workplan.

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

     

    The UN Network on Migration can actively promote the online pledges, including with a grid of coinciding pledges.  Where are there synergies?  Spaces for collaboration and mutual learning?  Where do civil society pledges connect with those of UN agencies and Member states?  How might the Network connect these actors to advance mutual goals?  

    The Network can create a template of core deliverables emerging from the Progress Declaration as a tool for measuring progress at all levels.  This should also reflect cross-cutting GCM principles.

    Stakeholders, including the civil society, national human rights institutions, representatives of migrants and local communities, trade unions, and the private sector have an important role to play in ensuring accountability of state-led action in relation to the commitments made under the GCM and to the application of its key guiding principles, such as people-centered and human-rights based approaches, gender responsiveness, child-sensitivity, whole-of government, whole-of-society, and rule of law and due process. These actors also support implementation at the local level, and the tool could be further expanded to enable reporting by a wide range of stakeholders.

    El enfoque pangubernamental y pansocial que tienen las revisiones regionales y el FEMI es el adecuado para alcanzar una participación significativa de las partes interesadas. Sin embargo, resta encontrar un lenguaje común que facilite la comunicación sobre el alcance y el mandato de cada una de las partes y sobre las posibilidades concretas de intervención de cada uno en los distintos campos de la gobernanza migratoria, de forma tal que puedan producirse sinergias productivas.

    Por otra parte, sería importante la construcción de alianzas amplias de múltiples partes interesadas en las revisiones regionales, teniendo en cuenta que éstas representan una oportunidad para coordinar acciones en ámbitos regionales, nacionales y locales.
    La participación de agencias con capacidad de financiamiento a las partes interesadas sería fundamental para poder hacer realidad muchas iniciativas.

    Like how member states are requested to draft and distribute the voluntary national report on GCM implementation in advance of the regional review process, they can be asked to prepare and share a voluntary report on the pledges they have made. On top of that, civil society can be encouraged to get involved in reviewing and monitoring the pledges and their implementation.

    Coordination among different ministries on migration concerns has historically been lacking due to a lack of interest and awareness. To promote a whole-of-government approach, ministries, UN bodies, and civil society can renew their call and set a specific target for learning-sharing meetings between ministries. Moreover, they can also establish coordination units to monitor the implementation of GCM, similar to how there are coordination bodies to monitor the implementation of SDGs.

    GCM regional reviews – replies from EU institutions on consultation questions
     

    The IMRF Preparatory Roundtables were also meaningful regarding stakeholder engagement, an example that could be repeated in the regional reviews. It is up to each participant to ensure a “whole of government approach” when expressing positions in the regional reviews or reporting about GCM and IMRF implementation or pledges.

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

     

    Regional reviews present an opportunity to bring stakeholders and other levels of government to the forefront of our discussion on implementation of the GCM. Meaningful stakeholder engagement would benefit from agendas and events designed around their participation.  This is especially true of main events included in the agenda for regional reviews – events should be centered on hearing from stakeholders, as regional reviews look to include stakeholders in core or main sessions, and it should avoid limiting stakeholders participation to only side events.

    In addition, having meeting information and agendas available and shared well in advance will help to better facilitate inclusion of stakeholders, so that stakeholders and states are prepared to engage at the sessions.

    The regional reviews should be more inclusive and expand to civil society groups that did not have the chance to participate in the previous round. It is important to listen to those organizations working on the frontlines. In order to achieve this, there should be broad communication and prior consultations with civil society in each region. Organizations involved in work streams can play a supporting role in reaching  out to their networks. 

    Regional reviews should have an intersectional approach and ensure broad representation, including LGTBIQ groups, indigenous and Afro-descendant migrants, and migrants with disabilities.

    UN Network The regional review could serve as a pilot analysis and can be used as such or further adapted by governments and relevant stakeholders to track the implementation of GCM commitments related to human mobility in the context of disasters, climate change and environmental degradation. This review can also serve as a supplementary point of reference to guide implementation, as it highlights available guidance on this topic and provides examples of relevant instruments and practices, as well as a useful resource for researchers and practitioners for further analysis of policy development in several countries.

    Las revisiones regionales son una oportunidad para que los gobiernos, la sociedad civil y otros actores claves compartan sus desafíos para el cumplimiento de sus compromisos en el marco del PMM. No obstante, en el caso de los gobiernos el cumplimiento de los mismos o el paso del avance hacia el cumplimiento puede depender de factores internos que escapan a los procesos de revisión.

    GCM regional reviews – replies from EU institutions on consultation questions
     

    Regarding the pledges, it is much appreciated that those can now be tracked on a dashboard. It would be useful to know how UNNM envisages to monitor the implementation of the pledges and whether they will be analysed in the process of the preparation of the regional reviews so that those can build on any lessons we can draw regarding the implementation of the pledges, measures also against to the recommendations of the IMRF Progress Declaration. An analysis/report per region could orientate the regional reviews and also help matching pledges across regions.
     

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

    In order to accelerate the implementation of pledges made, we propose that states identify priority themes/pledges on which they would like to see more advancement, and for which they believe international cooperation and guidance could facilitate such advancement. Regions could then select a certain number of priority thematic or related pledges on which to focus on at the regional reviews, and use these at the regional level as an opportunity for closer international cooperation, exchange of ideas, and lessons learned in order to advance implementation.

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

     

    It would be important to ask Member States to report on progress made on pledges.  This could also be requested of other relevant stakeholders, such as UN agencies and civil society.  

     

    Capacity building that supports Member State efforts in implementation, including  the sharing of experiences, can strengthen pledge fulfillment.  For example, a regional capacity building event on gender responsive implementation in the area of climate displacement and labor rights would allow officials to explore this area together, try on new ideas, and share experiences.  The presence of civil society, including directly impacted women’s organizations, is important to such a process.

    GCM regional reviews – replies from EU institutions on consultation questions
     

    A question we could be asking UNNM is that it would be useful to know how the development of a proposed limited set of indicators to review progress related to GCM implementation, priority in the UNNM workplan 2022-2024, will contribute to the regional reviews and in general to measuring progress in the GCM implementation. How is this work progressing?

    There are some horizontal topics in the GCM, for example data on which instead of reporting by the various stakeholders, it would be easier to have reporting by UNNM in the regional reviews on what is being done at multilateral  level to promote data gathering and comparability across the Globe. Similarly, there are also horizontal priorities in t...

    In reply to by Migration Netw…

    The UNNM can best support states in preparing for the regional reviews by developing a critical path leading up the reviews, scheduling meetings and developing agendas well in advance to support planning processes. Early decisions on whether meetings will be virtual, in-person or hybrid will help support the forward planning for delegations, including level of participation and representation, and complementarity with their respective domestic processes that affect GCM implementation. Likewise, early planning around side events could facilitate greater international collaboration and participation in such events.
