[[Human]] '''migration''' is [[physical]] movement by humans from one area to another, sometimes over long distances or in large [[groups]]. .The movement of [[populations]] in modern times has continued under the form of both voluntary migration within one's region, country, or beyond, and involuntary migration (which includes the [[slave]] trade, Human [[traffic]] in human beings and [[Genocide|ethnic cleansing]]). People who migrate are called migrants or more specifically, emigrants, immigrants, or settlers, depending on historical setting, circumstances and [[perspective]].

In December 2003, The Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM) was launched with the support of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary-General_of_the_United_Nations Secretary-General of the United Nations] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofi_Annan Kofi Annan] and several countries, with an [[independent]] 19-member Commission, a threefold [[mandate]] and a [[finite]] life-span ending December 2005. Its report, based on regional consultation meetings with stakeholders and scientific reports from leading international migration experts, was published and presented to Kofi Annan on 5 October 2005.
