Educational (?) function of international law : a few notes based on global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration and global compact on refugees

Abstract

The article is devoted to the role that public international law can play in confronting the global problem of the migration and refugee crisis. The purpose of the paper is to bring closer the genesis, procedure of adoption and material substrate of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees, approved at the UN forum in 2018, and then to try to answer the question whether it is possible to discuss the educational function of the public international law taking into consideration the specificity of the order. And if so, what exactly would it consist of in the case of international migration law? For the purposes of the above, the issue of the functions of law was also presented (although only in an outline) from the theoretical perspective, with the emphasis on the specificity of the educational function of law in comparison with the others.
