Argentina, United States, Israel, and Paraguay voted against a new leftist resolution promoted in the Third Committee of the UN (Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Issues), corresponding to the 80th session.
The document, presented within the framework of the UNHCR mandate, sought to reinforce the obligation of States to accept refugees and comply with international provisions that dangerously encroach on the legislative autonomy and sovereign powers of each nation to regulate its migration policy.
The resolution, linked to agenda item 61, which addresses the functions and guidelines of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, included a series of general points on humanitarian assistance, financing, and protection of "vulnerable groups."
Nevertheless, the text incorporated formulations that required countries to accept resettlements or impose uniform criteria for migration admission, regardless of the will or internal regulations of each nation.
