Austria joins Hungary and the US and will not sign UN migration pact

The Global Compact for Sage, Orderly and Regular Migration was approved in July by all 193 UN member nations with the exception of the United States. The US pulled out last year.
Hungary have said they will not sign the final document in Morocco in December. Poland is also considering refusing to sign it, having conflicts with Brussels over refusing quotas for asylum seekers.
And now, “Austria will not join the U.N. migration pact,” Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has stated. Kurz is a conservative and leads Austria’s coalition with the Freedom Party.
“We view some points of the migration pact very critically, such as the mixing up of seeking protection with labour migration,” Kurz said, arguing that migrants rescued in the Mediterranean should not be brought straight to Europe.
Vienna is currently holding the rotating presidency of the European Union and their stepping back from the pact is more evidence of the dissolution of the 28-nation bloc over migration.
Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, leader of the Freedom Party told a news conference after a cabinet meeting that Austria had concerns that thought the pact is non-binding, it could one day lead to deciding migrations is a human right. “We reject any movement in that direction,” Strache expressing their sovereignty issues.
UN officials have not made a comment on Vienna’s decision but Austria will not send an envoy to the signing ceremony in Morocco and will abstain from the General Assembly vote on the pact next year, according to Kurz’s office.
