Introduction

The International Dialogue on Migration (IDM) is IOM’s principal forum for dialogue on migration policy. In the modalities for the intergovernmental negotiations of the global compact on migration, Member States called on IOM to make use of the IDM to contribute to the preparatory process. In line with this call, and with the role the IDM has had for over a decade, namely “to provide a forum to States as well as international and other organizations for the exchange of views and experiences, and the promotion of cooperation and coordination of efforts on international migration issues” (Art. 1(1)(e) of the IOM Constitution), IOM dedicated the 2017 IDM to stimulating in-depth exchanges of views between Member States and with other relevant stakeholders on core elements of the global compact.
