In 2016, the international community, in reaction to the growing number of ‘tragedies’ occurring as people attempted to move across borders, met to discuss large movements of refugees and migrants. The outcome of this meeting was an agreement to negotiate two Global Compacts, one on refugees and one on migrants, with the aim of facilitating ‘orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people’. This article explores how responsibility in the Global Compact on Migrant is expressive of a changed way of ‘doing’ migration. The language of ‘responsibility’ raises questions about how the international community views international migration and, by extension, prepares the ground for policy and practice on international migration. Taking a genealogical, jurisprudential approach, we follow the logic which brings migration, development and human rights language together to construct a new subjectivity: that of the ‘responsible’ migrant. The migrant human will be a rights-bearer because they will contribute to development in particular gendered ways. We argue that assuming a narrow understanding of responsibility misses expressive dynamics in the normalizing of international migration within a new framing to inform international law making.

负责任的移民，阅读全球移民契约

2016 年，国际社会为应对人们试图跨越国界而发生的越来越多的“悲剧”，开会讨论难民和移民的大规模流动。这次会议的结果是就两项全球契约达成一致，一项关于难民，一项关于移民，旨在促进“有序、安全、正常和负责任的移民和人员流动”。本文探讨了《全球移民契约》中的责任如何表达“进行”移民的改变方式。“责任”一词引发了关于国际社会如何看待国际移民的问题，进而为国际移民的政策和实践奠定了基础。采取谱系学、法学方法，我们遵循带来迁移的逻辑，发展和人权语言一起构建了一个新的主体性：“负责任的”移民的主体性。移民将成为权利承担者，因为他们将以特定的性别方式为发展做出贡献。我们认为，假设对责任的狭隘理解错过了在为国际法制定提供信息的新框架内国际移徙正常化的表达动力。
