Abstract
Abstract This chapter analyses Objective 16 of the GCM, which commits states to empower migrants and societies to achieve full inclusion and social cohesion. This Objective marks a significant departure from prior international approaches by explicitly adopting a ‘whole-of-society’ model that demands mutual adaptation from both receiving communities and migrants, thereby challenging assimilationist policies that place the sole burden of integration on migrants. The chapter begins by critiquing the traditional, often punitive, use of the ‘integration’ rhetoric that legitimizes restrictions on migrant rights and showing how the drafting of Objective 16 departed from this logic. Next, it tackles the normative standards underpinning this Objective, calling attention to the role of economic, social, and cultural rights. While the Objective leverages socio-economic rights as tools for cohesion, this instrumental framing risks subordinating their inherent value as fundamental human rights. As such, for Objective 16 to realize its transformative potential, it must be implemented as a coherent whole.
