	Activities of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 1998-2002
		Since Recommendation 1370 (1998), the international context has profoundly changed, with a virulent increase of phenomena such as irregular migration, smuggling and trafficking and with terrorism posing an indirect threat to the concept of a multicultural society and to the full integration of immigrants in their host country.
		IOM has implemented a number of new counter-trafficking activities, by providing people with adequate pre-departure information (programmes in Russia, central and eastern Europe, the Balkans), co-operating with governments to improve the management of regular migration, the registration of the immigrant population and the assistance to victims of trafficking.

		The IOM does not evaluate whether an asylum seeker has had a full and fair asylum determination procedure, nor does it conduct systematic post-return monitoring of any migrants, which heightens the fear that people could be returned in the absence of any mechanism to determine if their continuing safety is assured.
		IOM was tasked with conducting a fact-finding and information campaign; developing a standardized claim form; establishing a series of claim registration offices; and offering facilities where property disputes could be settled through voluntary mediation.

		International migration, which is quantitatively and qualitatively substantial (affecting some 150 million people worldwide), has always existed.
