ABSTRACT: The Global   Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was adopted on 11
December 2018 by 163 States at the Marrakesh Intergovernmental Conference and, days later, was
endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in its Resolution 73/195. This Compact, together
with the Compact for Refugees, addresses a low intensity normative action through soft law with
which the States want to adopt common rules for human mobility in the 21st century, while
preserving their sovereignty. However, States proclaim their sovereignty on the subject. This instru-
ment of soft law must serve as a reference for the exercise of sovereign powers in aspects that have
hitherto belonged to the domaine reserve of the State, such as those relating to the management of
regular migration, although it also regulates its reverse with the control of (un)safe, (un)orderly and
irregular migration. It will also guide multilateral cooperation within the United Nations and the
International Organization for Migration. This article will analyse the scope and legal nature of this
instrument as well as its capacity to generate a model for the management of migratory flows that
at the same time preserves human rights.
