Correct Answer: Option B — 1 and 3 only
Here is the evaluation of the statements regarding the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM):

Statement 1 is Correct: The GCM is indeed the first-ever intergovernmentally negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner.

Statement 2 is Incorrect: The GCM is non-legally binding. It is a cooperative framework that recognizes that no state can address migration alone, but it explicitly upholds the sovereignty of states to determine their own national migration policies.

Statement 3 is Correct: The GCM has its origins in the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, adopted unanimously by the UN General Assembly in September 2016. This declaration set the path for the creation of two global compacts: one for migration (GCM) and one for refugees (GCR).

Key Pillars of the GCM
The compact is framed around 23 objectives designed to better manage migration at local, national, regional, and global levels. These include:

Mitigating the adverse drivers that compel people to leave their country of origin.

Reducing the risks and vulnerabilities migrants face at different stages of migration.

Addressing the legitimate concerns of states and communities.

Creating conditions that allow all migrants to enrich our societies through their human, economic, and social capacities.
