Supporting people on the move
The fundamental principle of humanity runs through all of our work on migration and displacement. Regardless of their legal status, states must protect all migrants’ safety, dignity and well-being and make sure they have access to essential services. Explore our policies, resolutions and strategies that guide our everyday work supporting people on the move.
