2016 Global ISCM Meeting
Under the theme of “Migration and the Sustainable Development Goals: the Role of Inter-state Consultation Mechanisms on Migration and of Regional Economic Organizations,” the Sixth Global RCP Meeting is expected to have a practical focus and further facilitate the identification of potential partnerships between the ISCMs and other actors at the regional level. To this end, representatives of regional economic organizations, regional economic communities (RECs) and UN Regional Economic Commissions (UN RECs) have been invited to participate in the Sixth Global RCP Meeting as well.
While Global RCP Meetings are usually co-hosted by an RCP Chair country and IOM, the Sixth Global RCP Meeting will be hosted by IOM solely on the occasion of IOM’s 65th Anniversary, and will be held back to back with the IOM International Dialogue on Migration (IDM) Workshop. A briefing on the outcomes of the IDM Workshop as relevant to RCPs will be made at the opening of the Sixth Global RCP Meeting.
