113th Session of the Council of the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
December 1, 2022
The root causes of migration and forced displacement call into question our achievements as a human family, including in the area of social justice. While States are obligated to respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of people on the move, it is also crucial that the international community help create conditions which allow communities and individuals to live in safety and dignity in their Countries of origin, consistent with paragraph 13 of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
