- Summary
- This glossary has been some time in the making. Informal drafts were prepared by IOM in the seventies and used by its staff. A renewed attempt to a consolidation was made in the late eighties by IOM technical cooperation centre in Vienna and its output was published in 2001 in the "Migration Handbook" edited by P. J. Van Krieken. In the context of IOM's recent initiative to strengthen and enhance its involvement in the field of international migration law, the decision was taken to produce this glossary and to consolidate into one definitive text the terminology used in the migration field in order to provide a reliable reference for practitioners, government migration officials, students and others. The present product cannot be said to be exhaustive and any comments or suggestions for an eventual second, and more complete, edition will be welcome.
