It serves as a crucial reminder of the interconnection between migration and global development, and the importance of upholding the rights of all individuals, regardless of their migratory status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Migrants_Day_Theme_2023\"><\/span>International Migrants Day Theme 2023<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International Migrants Day 2023 focuses on the theme <strong>&#8220;Promoting Safe Migration&#8221;<\/strong>. This theme underscores the vulnerability and marginalization often experienced by migrants and displaced individuals. Despite these challenges, migrants contribute significantly to prosperity, innovation, and sustainable development in countries of origin, transit, and destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) serves as a framework offering opportunities and guidance for the realization of human mobility while addressing the associated challenges. On International Migrants Day and beyond, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reaffirms its commitment to advocating for a humane and well-managed approach to migration that benefits all, including communities of origin, transit, and destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Migration\"><\/span>International Migration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Human migration has been a fundamental aspect of human history, driven by various factors such as economic opportunities, family reunification, education, and the need to escape conflict, persecution, or environmental challenges. As of July 1, 2020, the global number of international migrants reached an estimated 281 million, constituting about 3.5% of the world&#8217;s population. This figure has steadily increased from 2.3% in 1980 to 2.8% in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Migration occurs for a variety of reasons, with some individuals choosing to relocate for personal or professional reasons, while others are compelled to move due to circumstances beyond their control. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) reported that by the end of 2022, the world hosted approximately 35.3 million refugees, including 5.9 million Palestine refugees under UNRWA&#8217;s mandate, and an additional 5.4 million individuals classified as asylum-seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_an_International_Migrant\"><\/span>Who is an International Migrant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The United Nations adopts a comprehensive definition of international migrants for statistical purposes, considering any person who has changed their country of residence as an international migrant. This definition encompasses individuals irrespective of their legal status, the nature of their movement, or the motives behind their migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Migrants_and_the_SDGs\"><\/span>Migrants and the SDGs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development acknowledges the positive contributions of migrants to inclusive growth and sustainable development. <strong>The core principle of the Agenda, &#8220;leave no one behind,&#8221; explicitly includes migrants.<\/strong> Several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/sustainable-development-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/a> within the Agenda incorporate targets and indicators relevant to migrants and migration. For instance, SDG target 10.7 urges countries to &#8220;facilitate orderly, safe, regular, and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies.&#8221; Other targets directly related to migrants or migration encompass areas such as the health workforce in developing countries (3.c), mobility of international students (4.b), human trafficking (5.2, 8.7, and 16.2), labor migration (8.7 and 8.8), remittances (10.c), legal identity (16.9), and data disaggregation by migratory status (17.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/important-days-in-december\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Other Important Days in December 2023<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_International_Migrants_Day\"><\/span>History of International Migrants Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International Migrants Day, observed annually on December 18th, has a rich history that traces back to the recognition of the growing importance of migration in the globalized world. The United Nations, recognizing the need to address the challenges and opportunities associated with migration, established this day to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of migrants worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Milestones in the History of International Migrants Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>1945:<\/strong> Establishment of the United Nations, laying the groundwork for international cooperation on migration issues.<\/li><li><strong>1951:<\/strong> Adoption of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, defining the rights of refugees and establishing legal protections.<\/li><li><strong>1965:<\/strong> The International Labour Organization (ILO) adopts the Migrant Workers&#8217; Convention (No. 118), addressing the rights of migrant workers.<\/li><li><strong>1990:<\/strong> Adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, providing comprehensive protections for migrant workers.<\/li><li><strong>2000:<\/strong> Proclamation of December 18th as International Migrants Day by the United Nations General Assembly, highlighting the importance of migration and the need to protect migrants&#8217; rights.<\/li><li><strong>2015:<\/strong> Adoption of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/sustainable-development-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/a>, including Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries, which recognizes the role of migration in achieving sustainable development.<\/li><li><strong>2018:<\/strong> Adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration, a framework for international cooperation on migration governance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_of_International_Migrants_Day\"><\/span>Significance of International Migrants Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International Migrants Day serves as a crucial reminder of the interconnectedness of migration and global development.
