I want to clarify that I was not part of the negotiation of the compact. The compact originated in a state-led process in combination with the UNHCR. The UNHCR has tabled a series of drafts for states, and the global community has had an opportunity to input through a series of consultations in Geneva. I have not been a part of that. I have followed the process closely, and as I've tabled here today, some of my work on sponsorship is reflected in the final draft that has been negotiated between states and agreed to by the UNHCR.
On October 18th, 2018. See this statement in context.
