The Pact aims to strengthen “cooperation on international migration in all their aspects”. It is the first-ever inter-governmentally negotiated agreement to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner. Morocco was one of the first countries of the South to adopt a genuine solidarity-based policy regarding sub-Saharan migrants and refugees. This integrated policy, which is rooted in humanitarian values, is designed to make sure migrants’ rights and dignity are safeguarded. Banking on the success of its migration policy, Morocco took leadership in the African continent offering a humanistic approach in dealing with migration issues.
