By daniel | Published: July 23, 2010

Representatives of the 22 Portuguese-Spanish speaking countries convene in San Salvador on July 22 2010 to discuss the impact of the financial crisis on migrants and their families.

IOM Deputy Director General, Ambassador Laura Thompson points out not only that migrants’ human rights have to be protected in the present time, but also that “migration can be a positive force to alleviate certain aspects of the economic downturn.” It is essential to find new ways to better manage migration so that it becomes a real contribution to development.
