This report aims to assess the state of GCM
implementation in the region, its progress and
its challenges since the first Asia-Pacific Regional
Review of Implementation of the Global Compact for
Migration in 2021, in which a Chair’s summary was
adopted. Chapters 2 to 5 each consider clusters of
GCM objectives, as presented in General Assembly
resolution 73/326 and following the same groupings
as in the Asia-Pacific Migration Report (APMR)
2020. These chapters open with a summary of the
discussions from the first regional review of the GCM,
held in 2021, drawing from the Chair’s summary.
Chapter 6 provides overarching recommendations to
support and accelerate GCM implementation in Asia
and the Pacific. At the end of the report are annexes
with information on the GCM objectives and guiding
principles, references to migration in Voluntary
National Reviews to the High-Level Political Forum
on Sustainable Development, and GCM pledges at
the level of the State or City, Municipality and Local
Authority.
