Mission Statement Print
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society.

As the leading international organization for migration, IOM acts with its partners in the international community to:
  • assist in meeting the growing operational challenges of migration management;
  • advance understanding of migration issues;
  • encourage social and economic development through migration;
  • uphold the human dignity and well-being of migrants.
These are the broad guidelines, shared by all Member States, which set the framework for IOM's response to migration challenges.
