Abstract
Abstract This chapter analyses Objective 11 of the GCM, on integrated and coordinated border management. It argues that this Objective represents the core tension within the entire Compact: the battleground between human rights promotion and the protection of sovereign border controls. The chapter first seeks to dissect the ambiguous concept of ‘integrated border management’, questioning what exactly is being integrated and warning that enhanced interstate security coordination could potentially obstruct the human rights to leave any country and to seek asylum. The chapter then shows how Objective 11’s final text reflects a significant retreat from initial ambitions, prioritizing national security over a robust vision of shared responsibility. By analysing the international law standards around Objective 11 and its commitments, the chapter makes a case for a reading of this Objective through a rule of law and human rights-based lens. ‘Security’ must be interpreted to privilege migrant safety, and all coordination must be subordinated to existing international obligations.
