The organization was established in 1951 and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. IOM is the leading international organization in the field of migration and has a presence in over 100 countries around the world.
IOM’s mandate includes providing assistance to migrants in need, including refugees, asylum-seekers, and other displaced persons.

It also provides technical assistance and support to governments and other stakeholders on issues related to migration management and policy development.
