Global Migration Agreement Act

This bill requires the Department of State to promote in bilateral relationships and multilateral organizations the adoption of a binding Global Migration Agreement. Among other purposes, such agreement should (1) address the root causes of migration; (2) centralize the human rights of migrants, recognizing the particular vulnerabilities of marginalized groups; and (3) provide global funding for crisis response involving both internal and cross-border migrants at risk.
