Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

International Migrants Day is observed every year on December 18 to recognize and highlight the rights, contributions, and challenges of migrants across the world. The day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2000 to commemorate the adoption of the 1990 International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. It draws attention to the cultural, social, and economic contributions made by nearly 272 million international migrants globally, including millions of displaced persons, while also promoting awareness about migration-related issues and inclusive development.
