On 4 December 2000, the General Assembly, taking into account the large and increasing number of migrants in the world, proclaimed 18 December International Migrants Day (resolution 55/93). On that day, 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).
It is estimated that one in every 35 persons in the world is a migrant, living and working in a country other than his or her own.
So, this is a specific day to organize and support events to reaffirm our commitment to the rights of all migrants.
