UN Population: High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development


The High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development will take place on 14 and 15 September 2006 in New York at UN Headquarters. In its resolution 58/208 of 23 December 2003, the General Assembly decided to devote a high-level dialogue to international migration and development during its sixty-first session in 2006. The purpose of the high-level dialogue is to discuss the multidimensional aspects of international migration and development in order to identify appropriate ways and means to maximize its development benefits and minimize its negative impacts. Additionally, the high-level dialogue should have a strong focus on policy issues, including the challenge of achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The present website serves all stakeholders of the high-level dialogue, including member states, civil society and the general public and provides the latest information and knowledge resources related to the high-level dialogue
