Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai, Mumbai, India

According to the United Nations' International Migration Report 2017, India is the largest country of origin of international migrants, which total 17 million people. Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai hosted a workshop on the Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) which represents a consensus among more than 40 academics and policymakers in the fields of migration, human rights, national security, labor economics, and refugee law.

Daniel Naujoks, MIMC Commission Member and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University spoke on behalf of the MIMC Commission.

The workshop offered insights into how academic processes and exercises can affect public policy and global decision making. It aims to bring together key academics and other actors to discuss gaps and potentials for the protection of migrant and refugee rights, with a focus on Indian migrant workers.
