Washington refused to join international migration treaty
Recall that in 2016, the Barack Obama administration decided to join the New York Migration Declaration. According to the document, in the year 2018 should be adopted "a global document to respond to the problem of mass movement of refugees and migrants."
According to the head of the representative office Nikki Haley, “no country has done as much as the USA”.
In early July, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that the number of refugees who arrived by sea from the beginning of this year in Europe has already exceeded 100 thousand people. Almost 85% of them arrived in Italy.
However, in the second half of the year, thanks to the efforts of the Italian authorities, there was a noticeable decrease in the number of migrants arriving by sea in the Apennines. So, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Italy, in October this figure fell by almost 80% (or 30% compared to the same period of 2016 of the year). In total for 10 months of the current year, 111 thousands of people arrived in Italy from Africa and the “hot” points of the Middle East.
