GENEVA: International Migrants Day is being observed today with a significant focus on the theme “Act today.”
This theme serves as a poignant reminder of the urgency to take immediate and collective actions to address the challenges and opportunities associated with migration.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in his message on this day, underscores the critical need for safe migration governance. He emphasizes that such governance should be deeply rooted in principles of solidarity, partnership, and an unwavering respect for human rights.
The theme “Act today” highlights the imperative for nations worldwide to work together to develop inclusive and comprehensive policies. These policies should not only address the needs and rights of migrants but also foster a global environment of understanding, cooperation, and shared responsibility.
As we mark International Migrants Day, it is a call to action for governments, organizations, and individuals to collaborate in creating a world where migration is approached with empathy, fairness, and a commitment to human dignity.
