Countries from the globe have recently signed a Global Compact for Refugees on Dec 2018(incorrectly stated as Jan 2019 on podcast). It didn't gain attention in media as the photograph of drowing refugee kid did. But it is equally important, actually more. It gives states an innovative framework to deal with refugee crisis where the responsibility and burden is shared among the communities rather than doing all on your own.
ONE CORRECTION: GCR is finalized and not in a draft stage as told in the podcast.
