  • They are proliferating in number

RCPs have been specifically described as:

  • Repeated, dedicated to discussing specific migration

issues

  • Informal, not put in position to defend national policies
  • Non-binding, incurring no obligations
  • Purposefully created to deal with migration issues only
  • Regional: Region is “unit of measure”, RCPs are within or

among regions (not bilateral, not global); ‘regional characteristic’ can be geographic, economic level, migration characteristic, or combination
