President-elect Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil announced Monday that when his right-wing administration comes to power in January they will withdraw from the U.N. Migration pact.

“Immigration is welcome, but it should not be indiscriminate,” Ernesto Araujo, who will be the new foreign minister, tweeted, adding: “It must serve the national interests and cohesion of each society.” The UN pact is an “inappropriate instrument” for the “problem” of migration.

Brazil, Chile and the Dominican Republic are other Latin American countries to withdraw. The US and 14 other countries have pulled out or expressed concerns over national sovereignty with the pact.

The pact legalises migration as a human right thereby deprecating the term ‘illegal migrants’, and criminalises any criticism of migration as hate speech.
