On 19 September 2016, the UN General Assembly will "host a high-level summit to address large movements of refugees and migrants, with the aim of bringing countries together behind a more humane and coordinated approach." This
draft resolution discusses how the meeting will proceed. Two draft documents were also recently issued, a
zero draft of the outcome document for the meeting and a zero draft of the
Global Compact on Responsibility Sharing for Refugees.
