Its signatories are committed to creating a common policy, in accordance with the principles set out in the ten guidelines of the declaration. "No state can face the migratory phenomenon alone, precisely because of its transnational character," the document says. The purpose of the United Nations is to protect the rights and well-being of migrants. In fact, at the center of political decisions, there must be individuals who must live "under conditions of well-being in countries of origin, transit and destination". This must be done without undermining national sovereignty: "States will continue to enact laws on immigration, in accordance with international law". The distinction between legal and illegal migrants will also be in the hands of national governments. On these points, however, are the main concerns of the Italian Government. In fact, on many points in the UN document, League members see elements that conflict with their own political views on the subject of migrants.
