Event co-hosted by the LSE Institute of Global Affairs and the Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa.
In the lead to the current UN intergovernmental negotiations for a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), Professor Gibril Faal published a paper entitled ‘Overprincipled and underperforming’. At this lecture, he will use the GCM negotiations to illustrate the need for a practice-based approach to multilateral agreements, at a time when multilateralism itself seem to be under attack. He situates the discourse in the context of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, and proposes an ‘Agreement-Implementation Matrix’ as framework to move from policy to practice.
