King Mohammed VI has laid out Morocco’s migration policy which is based on a humane, voluntary, responsible and realistic approach focusing on solidarity and global management. This led to the African Agenda on Migration, unanimously adopted by the African Union Conference in January 2018. Therefore, “Our Morocco’s domestic and continental vision is fully in line with our international commitment, through the Global Compact. Both reflect a constant pursuit of innovative compromises between border management requirements and the protection of migrants’ human rights, between migration issues and development needs. He went on to say that migration is not a security issue – nor should it become one, affirming that a repressive migration policy will not be a deterrent, while insisting on the respect of migrants’ human rights.
