Annotation:
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is an intergovernmental body
with 76 member States (as of 8 June 2000) that acts to "[a]ssist in meeting the
operational challenges of migration; [a]dvance understanding of migration issues;
[e]ncourage social and economic development through migration; [u]phold the
dignity and well-being of migrants." The Counter-Trafficking (CT) site defines
the problem of migrant trafficking; describes CT activities to address this
problem; and provides links to the IOM's policy and responses in this area, IOM
publications, and related web sites.
