The International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) Progress Declaration was adopted by consensus on 20 May 2022. It was then endorsed by the UN General Assembly by consensus. This consensus adoption demonstrates a significant maturing in migration multilateralism in the UN grounded in human rights.  There were a series of Explanations of Position at the time of the adoption including from Members States that made clear that they wanted more from the Progress Declaration in terms of human rights.

Whilst the Progress Declaration is not all that QUNO advocated for it is an important development and a useful basis for further work on issues of priority concern in our work towards migration justice. A brief analysis is attached below.
