Established
in
1951,
IOM
is
the
leading
inter-governmental
organization
in
the
field
of
migration
and
works
closely
with
governmental,
intergovernmental
and
non-governmental
partners.
With
166
member
states,
a
further
8
states
holding
observer
status
and
offices
in
over
100
countries,

dedicated
to
promoting
humane

orderly
migration

the
benefit
of

It
does
so
by

issues,
