Iom - Un Migration

Established in 1951, IOM is the preeminent inter-governmental organization dedicated to migration management, collaborating closely with various governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental entities. With a robust membership of 173 states and operational presence in over 100 countries, IOM is committed to advancing humane and orderly migration, thereby delivering vital services and expert advice to governments and migrants alike. The organization effectively addresses migration challenges by facilitating international cooperation, offering practical solutions to migration issues, and providing humanitarian assistance to those in need, including refugees and internally displaced individuals. IOM's foundational principles reinforce the essential links between migration and holistic development, further enhancing its mission across key areas such as migration and development, facilitation, regulation, and forced migration, all while advocating for international migration law, migrant rights protection, and the health and gender dimensions of migration.
