Briefly, the United States did not participate in the consultation leading to the adoption of the global compact for migration, which is the one that will be formally adopted in Marrakesh in 10 days.
The United States delegation in Geneva, and later on in New York, has participated in the consultation on the global compact on refugees. When it came to the Third Committee of the General Assembly—which is a subcommittee similar to your committee—just before the resolution has to be adopted by the General Assembly, the U.S. delegation affirmed support for most of the contents of the global compact. They also reaffirmed support for the UN refugee agency, but decided not to join the consensus on the resolution, which was affirming the global compact on refugees. They did this not for the reason of sovereignty—I'm sorry; I should not interpret the U.S. delegation—but they flagged in particular that one of the recommendations of the compact is that asylum seekers should benefit from alternatives to detention, which is not in line with the current policies of the U.S. administration, as you know.
