Crisis de la COVID-19: Reconcebir el papel de los migrantes y la movilidad humana para el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible

Este año se celebró la vigésima edición del Diálogo Internacional sobre la Migración. Desde 2001, este foro ha servido de plataforma para que una multitud de interlocutores de todo el mundo mantengan debates oportunos sobre una amplia gama de cuestiones relativas a la migración, estableciendo al mismo tiempo sólidos vínculos con otros ámbitos normativos que se superponen.

La pandemia de la COVID-19 plantea enormes desafíos a los sistemas sanitarios, sociales, políticos y económicos a escala mundial y acarrea consecuencias inmediatas para el logro de muchos de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). En el marco del Diálogo, y en reconocimiento de la necesidad de reforzar el compromiso y la cooperación internacionales para responder a estos desafíos apremiantes, se convocó tanto a la sociedad como a los sectores público, privado y civil a fin de promover deliberaciones sobre las consecuencias de la pandemia para los migrantes, la migración y la movilidad, así como acerca del papel de los migrantes en la respuesta y la recuperación frente a la COVID-19.

Las deliberaciones estaban destinadas a promover los esfuerzos mundiales para abordar los retos inmediatos y los efectos previstos a más largo plazo de la pandemia para la sociedad, los migrantes y las poblaciones vulnerables de todo el mundo, y permitieron hallar oportunidades para configurar nuestras respuestas, en consonancia con el Pacto Mundial para la Migración Segura, Ordenada y Regular.
