About IOM
Established in 1951, IOM is the principal intergovernmental organization in the field of migration. We are growing rapidly and currently count 125 member states. A further 18 states hold observer status, as do numerous international and non-governmental organizations.
IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, be they refugees, displaced persons or other uprooted people.
IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management: migration and development, facilitating migration, regulating migration, and addressing forced migration.
