December 18th is the International Day on Migration!
In 1990, the Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (resolution 45/158). On 4 December 2000, the General Assembly, took into account a large and increasing number of migrants in the world and proclaimed December 18th as the International Migrants Day (resolution 55/93). Member States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations are invited to observe International Migrants Day through the dissemination of information on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of migrants, and through the sharing of experiences and the design of actions to ensure their protection.
