Abstract

The author analyses the resolutions of the UN General Assembly concerning migration in the period after the collapse of the bipolar system of international relations. It is noted that this body of the UN system paid attention to the main trends in the development of migration: topical migration problems in the CIS, issues of migration and development were considered, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Legal Migration, as well as the Global Compact on Refugees were developed. The issues of the rights of migrant workers and the protection of migrants were also considered. The General Assembly recognised the important impact of international migration on all states of the world and called for such a migration policy that would have a positive impact on the state and society.
