IOM Counter-Bulletin. Campaign to combat global migration management (European noborder network), ISSN 06-2002, pp4, free. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has received increasing and widespread criticism, amongst others by Amnesty International, for their involvement in the emerging migration management regime in Europe and elsewhere. This IOM Counter-Bulletin traces the history of the IOM, created during the Cold War to capitalise on and promote emigration from Communist states, to the present, where it has involved itself in such diverse issues as female "trafficking", "voluntary return" programmes, compensation payments by companies involved in the exploitation of Nazi slave labour to more recent plans of running refugee camps outside Europe. A common factors in its activities is the IOM's self-portrayal as humanitarian, migrant-loving and justice seeking, whereas the reality has shown it to be involved in the direct implementation of EU governments' policies on migration management.
