Consider the following statements:1. Recently, all the countries of the United Nations have adopted the first-ever compact for international migration, the 'Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM)'.2. The objectives and commitments stated in the GCM are binding on the UN member countries.3. The GCM addresses internal migration or internally displaced people also in its objectives and commitments.How many of the above statements are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

None. The correct answer is None. All three statements fail against the sources. Statement 1 fails: 152 states voted yes in the General Assembly, 5 voted no and 12 abstained. Statement 2 fails: the Compact calls itself non-legally binding. Statement 3 fails: the Compact covers international migration, and the phrase internally displaced is not in its text. So Only one, Only two and All three are wrong, because no statement is correct. Memory hook: vote 152, force non-binding, scope international. UPSC's official Series A key gives the same answer.
