The project's aims were to contribute to the consolidation of a South American integral approach on migration matters, by committing the governments of the region to the implementation of a series of prioritised actions of regional scope. These actions were agreed during the last Technical Consultative Meeting of the South American Conference on Migration in Paraguay on April 2003. IOM supported the implementation of the priority activities of the Action Plan on International Migration in South America through consultative missions, with the preparation of studies and diagnoses, and the organisation of meetings and seminars. The themes addressed in these studies include: administration of cross border movements, human rights protection of migrants, statistics system on migration in South America, comparitive analysis of the visa system in the South American countries, review of the international instruments on human rights, trafficking of peeople and migrants.
