Chile declines to sign UN pact, says migration not a human right: report 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersSANTIAGO (Reuters) – Chile has become the latest country to pull out of a controversial United Nations migration pact, its interior ministry indicated, provoking fury among opposition parties who accused Sebastian Pinera’s government of “shameful and authoritarian” behavior. “We have said that migration is not a human right. Countries have a right to determine the entry requirements for foreign citizens.”Chile’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for confirmation of the policy. The migration pact addresses issues such as how to protect people who migrate, integrate them into new countries or return them to their home countries.
