flag UN chief warns migration governance failing, with 48K+ dead since 2018 compact, urging safer, rights-based pathways.

flag UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned on February 27, 2026, that global migration governance is failing despite the 2018 Global Compact, with over 48,000 migrants dead or missing since its adoption. flag He stressed that 304 million people—3.7% of the world’s population, including up to 42 million children—now live abroad, and criticized restrictive policies that push migrants toward dangerous routes. flag Guterres called for expanded legal pathways, stronger cooperation, and rights-based policies to replace fear-driven narratives and ensure migration remains a story of hope, not despair.
