  1. A.Only one
  2. B.Only two
  3. C.All three
  4. D.None
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: D. None

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) was adopted by 164 UN member states in December 2018, not all UN countries. Furthermore, the GCM is a non-binding agreement, meaning its objectives and commitments do not create legal obligations for member states. While it discusses issues related to people displaced within their own countries, its primary focus is on international migration.
