 laboration with the Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law\, is ple
 ased to welcome the Honourable Louise Arbour\, and His Excellence Juan Jos
 é Ignacio Gómez-Camacho for a conference on migration\, which will be mode
 rated by Professor François Crépeau\, Oppenheimer Chair in Public Internat
 ional Law.\n\nThe event will be live streamed and can be viewed at https:/

 d Nations\, the global number of international migrants reached 272 millio
 n in 2019. This figure will increase due to population growth\, enhanced c
 onnectivity\, trade\, rising inequality\, demographic imbalances and clima
 te change. Migration provides immense opportunity and benefits for home an
 d host communities. At the same time\, due to poor regulation and exploita
 tion\, migration can also create significant challenges for states and ind
 ividuals alike. The 2018 Global Compact for Migration is the first-ever Un
 ited Nations instrument on a common approach to the governance of internat
 ional migration in all its dimensions. Although non-binding\, the Compact 
 is grounded in the values of state sovereignty\, responsibility sharing\, 
 non-discrimination and human rights. It recognizes that a cooperative appr
 oach is needed to optimize the overall benefits of migration\, while addre
 ssing its challenges for individuals and communities in countries of origi
 n\, transit and destination.\n\nThe speakers\n\nThe Hon. Louise Arbour rec
 ently completed a mandate as the UN Special Representative of the Secretar
 y-General on International Migration\, a role in which she supported the p
 rocess leading to the adoption of the 2018 Global Compact for Migration. S
 he is also a former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, a 
 former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada\, and a former Chief Prosecu
 tor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and 
 Rwanda.\n\nHis Excellency Juan José Gómez Camacho\, Ambassador of Mexico t
 o Canada\, was the Permanent Representative of Mexico to the United Nation
 s between 2016 and 2019\, during which he co-led the process for the adopt
 ion of the 2018 Global Compact for Migration. He is also a former Ambassad
 or to the European Union and a former Ambassador to the International Orga
 nisations in Geneva.\n\nProfessor François Crépeau is the Hans & Tamar Opp
