The International Organization for Migration (IOM) was established in 1951 in response to the large-scale displacement caused by World War II. Originally created to help resettle displaced people in Europe, the organization has since grown into the leading international body focused on migration. The IOM works with governments, international organizations, and civil society to promote safe, orderly, and humane migration. Its activities include humanitarian assistance, migration management, displacement tracking, and support for migrants and displaced populations around the world. Although it is not a specialized UN agency, the IOM became a related organization of the United Nations in 2016, strengthening its cooperation with the broader UN system. Its wide global presence allows it to respond to migration challenges at the local, regional, and international levels. Today, the IOM plays a central role in addressing migration issues worldwide, helping countries respond to displacement, protect vulnerable populations, and develop policies that support both migrants and host communities.
