On 4 December 2000, the United Nations General Assembly, taking into account the large and increasing number of migrants in the world, proclaimed 18 December International Migrants Day. On that day, in 1990, the Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Each year, 18 December is celebrated as International Migrants Day. The Theme for Migrants Day 2021 is Harnessing the potential of human mobility.
