The overwhelming support for the Compact shows the near consensus reached on the issue and proves that globally, fair responsibility sharing on the issue of refugees and displaced people is a priority. The High Commissioner of the UNHCR, Filippo Grandi, described the milestone as “a new commitment to shared values of solidarity and the quest to just and sustainable solutions for disadvantaged people.”
For the Refugee Response Index project, the adoption of the Compact provides added momentum and confidence that the project is an essential aspect for successful management of refugees going forward.
