OF THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION
PREAMBLE
THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES,
RECALLING
the Resolution adopted on 5 December 1951 by the Migration Conference in Brussels,
RECOGNIZING
that the provision of migration services at an international level is often required to ensure the orderly flow of migration movements throughout the world and to facilitate, under the most favourable conditions, the settlement and integration of the migrants into the economic and social structure of the country of reception,
that similar migration services may also be required for temporary migration, return migration and intra-regional migration,
that international migration also includes that of refugees, displaced persons and other individuals compelled to leave their homelands, and who are in need of international migration services,
that there is a need to promote the co-operation of States and international organizations with a view to facilitating the emigration of persons who desire to migrate to countries where they may achieve self-dependence through their employment and live with their families in dignity and self-respect,
that migration may stimulate the creation of new economic opportunities in receiving countries and that a relationship exists between migration and the economic, social and cultural conditions in developing countries,
that in the co-operation and other international activities for migration the needs of developing countries should be taken into account,
that there is a need to promote the co-operation of States and international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, for research and consultation on migration issues, not only in regard to the migration process but also the specific situation and needs of the migrant as an individual human being,
that the movement of migrants should, to the extent possible, be carried out with normal transport services but that, on occasion, there is a need for additional or other facilities,
that there should be close co-operation and co-ordination among States, international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, on migration and refugee matters,
that there is a need for the international financing of activities related to international migration,
DO HEREBY ESTABLISH
the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION, hereinafter called the Organization,
and
ACCEPT THIS CONSTITUTION.
