Focus 2006: Crossing Borders (full text), a book about treaties being specially promoted for signature and ratification this year at September's High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development (Web site), is now online. The 30 treaties covered in the 156-page book, in French and English, cover a broad spectrum of migration-related issues: refugees and stateless persons; migrant workers and human rights; human security and trafficking in persons, and firearms; sustainable development, food security and ecological migration; and disarmament and State security. The book summarizes the objectives and key provisions of each treaty and, lists the Member States who had signed and ratified each as of 1 March 2006.
