Las últimas décadas han sido testigos de una expansión de iniciativas intergubernamentales y de otro tipo para desarrollar enfoques conjuntos ante la migración. El Diálogo Internacional sobre Migración (IDM) de la OIM ha desempeñado un papel pionero al reunir a todos los actores de la migración, a nivel global, para mantener debates libres y abiertos sobre las oportunidades y desafíos que presenta la migración. El IDM es el principal foro de la OIM para el diálogo sobre políticas migratorias. Fundado en 2001 y arraigado en la Constitución y la Estrategia de la OIM, el IDM está abierto a los Estados Miembros y Observadores de la OIM, así como a organizaciones internacionales y no gubernamentales, migrantes y socios de los medios de comunicación, el mundo académico o el sector privado. El IDM proporciona un espacio para analizar cuestiones actuales y emergentes en la gobernanza de la migración e intercambiar experiencias, enfoques de políticas y prácticas efectivas. Cada año, la IDM se guía por un tema general seleccionado por los miembros de la OIM a través de un proceso de consultas informales. El tema anual se elabora durante talleres que reúnen a responsables de políticas migratorias y profesionales de todo el mundo. Las publicaciones de esta serie presentan informes de las sesiones y ofrecen a los lectores una recopilación de datos relevantes, evidencia, mejores prácticas, enfoques innovadores y recomendaciones relevantes para la implementación del Pacto Mundial tal como fueron compartidas por expertos en migración, gobiernos y profesionales en esas reuniones.
Dialogue international sur la migration
Ces dernières décennies ont vu se multiplier les initiatives intergouvernementales et autres visant à développer des approches communes en matière de migration. Le Dialogue international sur la migration (DIM) de l'OIM a joué un rôle pionnier en réunissant toutes les parties prenantes de la migration, au niveau mondial, pour des discussions libres et ouvertes sur les opportunités et les défis que présente la migration. Le DIM est le principal forum de l’OIM pour le dialogue concernant les politiques migratoires. Fondé en 2001, il offre un espace pour analyser les problèmes actuels et émergents en matière de gouvernance des migrations et pour échanger expériences, approches politiques et pratiques efficaces. Chaque année, le DIM est guidé par un thème primordial choisi par les membres de l'OIM à travers un processus de consultations informelles. Le thème annuel est élaboré lors d'ateliers réunissant des décideurs et des praticiens des politiques migratoires provenant du monde entier.
Global Illicit Drug Trends
First released in 1999, this report is now prepared annually by the Research Section of the United Nations International Drug Control Programme (UNDCP), which is part of the Vienna-based United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The report takes a statistical approach to assessing the status of world supply in and demand for illicit drugs. Based on data and estimates collected or prepared by Governments and UNDCP, as well as by other specialized agencies and international institutions, it attempts to identify trends in the evolution of global illicit drug markets. Reporting on a largely clandestine sector where information is by definition difficult to obtain, Global Illicit Drug Trends constitutes at present the most comprehensive published source of estimates and statistics on the global drug problem.
