It aims to promote the wider application of all relevant international and regional instruments and norms relating to migration, and to provide leadership for the improvement of the overall effectiveness and coherence of normative and operational response by the United Nations system and the international community to the opportunities and challenges presented by international migration. [...] 1 The Global Migration Group (GMG) is an inter-agency group bringing together heads of UN entities to promote the wider application of all relevant international and regional instruments and norms relating to migration, and to encourage the adoption of more coherent, comprehensive and better coordinated approaches to the issue of international migration. [...] We welcome their efforts and, in particular, note the extensive consultations led by the co-facilitators and to which the GMG actively contributed through the preparation of the issue briefs for the thematic sessions. [...] The GMG is committed to supporting the Co-Facilitators, if and when required, in a coordinated manner, through the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for International Migration. [...] Under the FAO and IOM co-chairmanship, in 2018, the GMG will continue to bring together the relevant expertise of its members in a range of migration-related policy fields, thus strengthening the Group’s overall support to achieving the SDGs.
