 * History**

On September 19, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever [|summit on large movements of refugees and migrants] to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the [|New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration)]. The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. [|timeanddate.com]
