18. December: International Migrants Day
Published on 18/12/11 at 21:29:56 GMT by Redaksjonen

"When their rights are violated, when they are marginalized and excluded, migrants will be unable to contribute either economically or socially to the societies they have left behind or those they enter. However, when supported by the right policies and human rights protections, migration can be a force for good for individuals as well as for countries of origin, transit and destination."

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Message for International Migrants Day 18 December 2011.

The International Migrants Day is observed on December 18 as appointed by the General Assembly of United Nations on December 4, 2000 taking into account the large and increasing number of migrants in the world. On December 18, 1990, the General Assembly adopted the international convention on the protection of the rights of migrant workers and members of their families (resolution 45/158).

This day is observed in many countries, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations through the dissemination of information on human rights and fundamental political freedoms of migrants, and through sharing of experiences and the design of actions to ensure the protection of migrants.



The total number of international migrants has increased over the last 10 years from an estimated 150 million in year 2000 to 214 million persons today. Migrants would constitute the fifth most populous country in the world.
