Explanation:
The first statement is incorrect because not all countries of the United Nations have adopted the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). The GCM is a non-legally binding agreement, and countries have the option to adopt or not adopt it. The second statement is incorrect because the GCM is not legally binding on UN member countries. The third statement is also incorrect as the GCM primarily focuses on international migration and does not specifically address internal migration or internally displaced people.
