Ahead of U.N. conference to adopt global pact on immigration, NGO warns that Israel’s sovereignty is at stake • Non-binding agreement, which grants labor migrants same legal status as refugees, could eventually be incorporated into international law.
Israel should not join the new U.N.-drafted agreement aiming to protect the rights of migrants because it would hurt its own interests, the Israeli Immigration Policy Center warned on Sunday.
The center, known also as Eitan, has been actively calling on the government take a more aggressive approach to illegal immigration.
Under the recently negotiated Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, U.N. member states tentatively agreed to cement the rights of refugees under the auspices of the U.N. Charter. The document is set to be officially adopted in December, during an intergovernmental conference in Morocco.
According to the Foreign Ministry website, Israeli officials have taken part in the formulation of the draft, having participated in meetings of the forum that compiled the pact and having presented the forum with relevant materials.
Unlike other agreements and conventions, the new compact will grant labor migrants the same legal status under international law as asylum seekers and refugees who flee tyrannical regimes. This would essentially make all migrants, legal or not, eligible for economic benefits.
The pact strives to “develop national short-, medium- and long-term policy goals regarding the inclusion of migrants in societies, including on labor market integration, family reunification, education, non-discrimination and health, including by fostering partnerships with relevant stakeholders” and to “provide newly arrived migrants with targeted, gender-responsive, child-sensitive, accessible and comprehensive information and legal guidance on their rights and obligations, including on compliance with national and local laws, obtaining of work and resident permits, status adjustments, registration with authorities, access to justice to file complaints about rights violations, as well as access to basic services.”
If adopted, the compact would not be legally binding, but its ambiguous wording could result in some parts of it being incorporated into international law, particularly if it is adopted by an overwhelming majority of member states. It also uses phrases such as “we commit” and “collective commitment.”
For this reason, the U.S., Australia, Austria and Hungary have refused to be a party to this compact. The Czech Republic, Poland and Croatia have also indicated they would not join it, while Canada and Germany have seen campaigns against its adoption.
“The agreement runs against Israel’s core sovereign interests,” the Israeli Immigration Policy Center said in a statement. “There is no justification for joining an international pact that undermines our interests. We call on Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu to make it clear that he will not join this radical agreement.”
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying: “No decision has been made on this topic.”
no doubt the sodomites if allowed a vote on this will be 1st in line. as long as ISRAEL does not sign on their thinking of auto right to enter ISRAEL will go down the Thomas crapper.
if the current fools do sign on then the way i read it it will give to sodomites a right of so called return.
Governments and media outlets soothingly reassure the public that the formally called ‘GLOBAL COMPACT FOR SAFE, ORDERLY AND REGULAR MIGRATION’, an ‘INTERGOVERNMENTALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED OUTCOME’ is not a legally binding document.
That belies what is about to happen. Take the European Court for Human Rights – the ECHR as an example. It originated on the flimsy basis of the European Convention on Human Rights. This Convention was drafted in broad terms. Its statements of principle were, from a legal point of view, not determinative and require extensive interpretation by the courts to bring out meaning in particular factual situations. The ECHR then evolved to pass altogether very much BINDING judgements.
And that exactly is the problem with such activist institutions run by unelected officials and controlled by countries ruled by dictators. Suffice to say, that among the ECHR luminaries you can find failed states such as Turkey or the Ukraine as full members and signatories.
Tyrannies thrive on ambiguous regulations open to self-serving Kafkaesque interpretations. And vaguely defined, equivocal regulations afford the supranational courts the opportunity to pass judgements at will. That is how the International Criminal Court ICC, another globalist institution like the ECHR has come to condemn Israel for alleged ‘War Crimes’ time and again.
That is what will quickly happen with the so-called UN Global Compact on Migration. And we must reject this.
‘Heads of State and Government and High Representatives’, are scheduled to meet in Morocco on 10 and 11 December 2018. There, they will reaffirm the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants.
It gets worse. According to the UN Global Compact on Migration we may not in future, be able to discuss these very issues in public. According to Objective 17, Paragraph 33, the Compact must QUOTE:
“Eliminate all forms of discrimination and promote evidence-based public discourse to shape perceptions of migration.”
Evidence based… take this to mean that public discourse must fit to certain criteria, determined by …whom one must ask.
OBJECTIVE 17, Article 33. Paragraph c) goes into more gory detail.
“c) Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet- based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media.”
That means that the governments of the 192 signatory countries are committing to stop placing ads in newspapers and publications that do not conform to the official policy of migration. That means no job ads for positions, no publications of tenders, no public announcements by the States on media outlets that do not adhere to the general policy.
I repeat:
the signatory regimes commit to “stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants”
We are talking about 25% – 40% of a newspaper’s income. In the age of declining subscribers and competition from the Internet, this means a death sentence to cash starved newspaper that will not toe the line.
And this is only the beginning. Big Brother will eventually also get to the Internet, be sure of that. Israel entered into these Forums during the era of Tzipi Livni’s Foreign Ministry. And Israel must exit this charade immediately.
But don’t worry be happy, the Compact ends with the hollow promise “in full respect for the freedom of the media.”
Haven’t we witnessed this doublespeak before in the glorious Soviet constitution and in the vassal “Peoples’ Republics” satellites?
