The so-called "Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration" should have been signed by the member states of
the United Nations (UN) in Morocco on December 10 and 11, 2018.
At its core, this pact puts migrants of all kinds - regardless of their legal status - on an equal
footing with genuine refugees who enjoy protection status.
This would mean that - according to these new UN guidelines - states would in future violate "human rights" if they were to
expel illegal immigrants or criminalize illegal border crossings.
There was resistance to this in many countries.
Austria, for example, had already announced in October 2018 that it would not sign the migration pact.
In Switzerland, parliament also decided not to join the migration pact at the end of 2024.
Editor-in-chief Anian Liebrand reported this encouraging news in his "SchlussPunkt" in the last
issue of "Schweizerzeit" in 2024, dated December 20.
- Here is an excerpt:
"Switzerland will not join the UN migration pact.
After the Council of States, the National Council also came out definitively against it in the winter session.
This means that a prestigious project that the Federal Council wanted to sign back in 2018 has been shipwrecked,
but suspended at the time due to pressure from Parliament.
According to critical observers, the pact would have paved the way for a kind of 'global free movement of
persons' and the individual states would have lost sovereignty in immigration matters
- Migrants should be granted the right to settle wherever they want.
The lack of differentiation in immigration categories, which the migration pact would have provided for - namely that
all migrants receive the same rights at the border - was also strongly criticized in the National Council.
A middle-class majority was not prepared to abandon the distinction between the free movement of
persons, asylum migration and third-country migration
- However, Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis, who 'rallied' for the migration pact, obviously did!
The fact that the migration pact is now off the table is certainly also due to the strong
opposition that the treaty faced from the outset.
In July 2019, "Schweizerzeit" mobilized with a petition; others also fought back loudly."
This example shows that resistance is worthwhile!
Kla.TV also drew attention to the dangers of the migration pact on several occasions - for example in
the interview with Gerhard Wisnewski at the 16th AZK.
But despite this success, it is time to "watch out!", as further pacts are planned to subjugate
the nations under a UN world state, so to speak.
Anian Liebrand therefore advises vigilance:
"The supporters never tired of emphasizing that the migration pact was merely so-called 'soft law' - a
declaration of intent that was 'not legally binding'.
- As if countries do not have to abide by the content of an agreement that they have signed.
Although this deception has been seen through, the danger of (future) UN soft law agreements remains.
There is a so-called 'pact for the future' or a 'pandemic pact' in the pipeline. Let us remain vigilant!"
