The International Organization for Migration, 1951-2001 by Marianne Ducasse-Rogier,International Organization for Migration Pdf
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is a global intergovernmental agency which aims to promote balanced migration carried out with respect for human rights and the rule of law. This book charts the history of the organisation over the last fifty years, and provides a broad overview of the IOM's origins, development and programmes. It considers how the changes in migratory patterns have challenged governments and societies, particularly in recent years. It discusses the themes and elements that have remained constant, and which, in many cases are receiving renewed attention. These include migration as an engine for social and economic development, and the importance of research and communication to the effective management of migration.
