International law is very important when it comes to dealing with global migration challenges. It sets up rules to protect the rights of migrants. One key rule is the 1951 Refugee Convention. This helps the 26 million refugees around the world who need support.

Another important agreement is the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. This aims to help the 193 countries in the UN work together better on migration issues.

Here are some key statistics:

• In 2020, over 280 million people were international migrants.
• About 54% of those migrants are women.
• Each year, an estimated 1.5 million people are trafficked. This shows how important it is to have strong legal protections.

These laws help countries work together. They make sure that the responsibilities of caring for migrants are shared and that all migrants are treated with respect.
