Since it is not legally binding, it just opens the door for global cooperation on migration
Earlier, such states as Austria, Australia, Israel, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Lithuania abandoned their plans to sign the agreement over concerns that the pact might put certain restrictions on their national migration policies.
A United Nations conference adopted the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Monday despite earlier criticism by a number of member states, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
The pact, which was finalised at the UN in July following more than a year of negotiations was formally endorsed during a two-day conference involving over 160 countries.
Since it is not legally binding, it just opens the door for global cooperation on migration. The pact is expected to be enacted at the UN General Assembly on December 19.

US needs to get out of the UN. Close up the UN buildings in the US. Make all past due cost should be paid by the UN Countries of their share. These Countries should be held liable for their peoples finds etc, that they claim Diplomatic privilege. Take all these expenses from their Foreign aid. Cut off all Foreign Aid to these Countries. Then turn these buildings into helping the VETS, Children and Homeless by making them into apartments with low affordable rent for them.
