The aim of the document is to identify areas for future work in the field of humanitarian border management, a sector of assistance identified within the IOM Migration Crisis Operational Framework (MCOF). Humanitarian border management covers border operations before, during and after humanitarian crises that trigger mass cross-border movements. It aims to ensure that border authorities respond to cross-border migration arising from both natural and man-made disasters in a way that protects crisis-affected migrants and guarantees their human rights while respecting national sovereignty and security.
