XV South American Conference on Migration

The South American Conference on Migration was established in 2000 and aims to provide a platform for regional discussions on a wide range of issues within the larger topic of migration in South America.

Its current priorities are:

• Ensuring respect for the human rights of migrants regardless of their status  
• Promotion of discourse on migration in relation to development
• Strengthening of dialogue and political coordination among States
• Highlighting the significance of migrants’ contributions to the welfare and cultural enrichment of societies in countries of origin
• Promoting the participation of representatives from civil society

This year the Conference will be held in Santiago de Chile on 8-9 September 2015.

The website is currently under review, but you may find more information about the event through the website of the Technical Secretariat, held by IOM’s Regional Office for South America (link in Spanish).

MADE Americas participated actively during the 2014 Conference, held last October 2014, by sharing a set of key recommendations drafted in consultation with a wide group of civil society organisations active in the region.
