PRAGUE—The Czech Republic has joined the growing ranks of European Union countries that reject a United Nations pact to regulate the treatment of migration worldwide.

The Czech cabinet voted early on Wednesday, Nov. 14 not to sign the United Nations’ Global Compact for Migration (GCM), a government source told Reuters, in line with indications earlier this month.
