Kevin Sharkey & Niall Boylan talking about the Global Compact on the Tonight Show (Ireland)
Niall Boylan and Kevin Sharkey appeared on the Tonight Show along with human rights campaigner Deirdre Duffy from Fine Gael, Irish Independent columnist Colette Browne, and Fiann Fáil TD Thomas Byrne. They discussed the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration which will be signed by the Irish government in Marrakesh next week.
United States, Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria, Poland, Israel, Estonia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Russia, China, Korea, Japan, Belgium, Denmark and Italy have refused to sign the compact so far.
The Austrian government criticised the pact remarking that it did not adequately regulate migration and failed to adequately distinguish between legal and illegal migration. They objected to the creation of migrant as a category that did not exist in public law. The government also took issue with the goal of helping irregular migrants achieve a regular status based on individual assessment.
