Mission and objectives
Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. IOM is part of the United Nations system, as a related organization.
IOM supports migrants around the world, developing effective responses to changing migration dynamics and as such is a key source of advice on migration policy and practice. The organization works in emergency situations, developing the resilience of all people on the move, and in particular those who find themselves in situations of vulnerability, as well as strengthening the capacities of governments to manage all forms and all the impact of mobility.
The Organization is guided by the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including the defense of human rights for all. Respect for the rights, dignity and well-being of migrants remains paramount.
