 The first International Migration Review Forum to be held in May 2022 will give governments the opportunity to raise ambition. Managing migration for the benefit of all demands cooperation. To that end, we are launching a pledging initiative calling on all states, stakeholders and UN system to make tangible commitments towards our shared migration goals and within the framework of the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. We must seize the up-gumming IMRF to step up low-end policy reform, financial contributions and innovative programs to realize our common vision of safe, orderly and regular migration. We welcome pledges made by individual countries or actors, as well as collective commitments by groups of countries or multiple actors. This has the potential to improve the lives of millions of people for years to come. Doing so will help to protect migrants' rights and dignity and enable them to make an even greater contribution to development. Today we have the opportunity to improve the lives of migrants and their communities and work together to protect their rights and dignity. Let us use this moment to spark transformative change, to rebuild trust and to meet our responsibilities to those most in need of our solidarity. By making a pledge you can take a stand for the lives, rights and dignity of all people. Together we can fulfill the pledge to uphold the rights of both migrants and the communities that welcome them. So please show your commitment and make a pledge. Together we can make a difference. In line with the global compact for migration, I invite governments to make a pledge. Make a pledge. Make a pledge to help us build a healthier, fairer and safer world for all people, no matter who they are or where they come from. Make a pledge.
