We were deeply saddened to learn that at least 46 migrants died in the trailer of an abandoned truck in San Antonio, Texas on Monday. 

Authorities in both the US and Mexico must investigate and bring to justice all those who had a role in the chain of events that resulted in this tragedy.  This horror once again highlights the need for comprehensive strategies for safe, orderly and regular migration in the region. 

We also call on all parties to work cooperatively -- in line with the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees --  to take concrete action to help prevent such needless deaths among people on the move.
