International Organization for Migration
2024
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) works within and with governments to address issues surrounding migration. The organization is committed to the principle that “humane and orderly migration is good for migrants and society.” In order to ensure the humane treatment of migrants and displaced peoples, IOM works with the international community to assist with the growing operational challenges associated with migration, advance the understanding of migration issues, highlight the social and economic benefits of migration, and ensure that migrants are treated with dignity.
IOM produces an annual flagship report, World Migration Report, which provides a detailed account of migration trends and related issues worldwide. In addition, the organization produces numerous other migration related publications. The International Organization for Migration also hosts a detailed data portal which allows the user to view migration related indicators by country, subregion, and region. The data portal provides users a list of themes tracked by IOM. When the themes are selected, the webpage provides a definition, recent trends, and related data sources. The organization is the host of a news portal relaying recent events in migration.
