Voices on fair migration

In 2014, the ILO Director General introduced his agenda for fair migration. With a view to enriching the UN Post-2015 Development debates, we asked leaders of workers, employers, governments, and civil society organizations for their thoughts on how to achieve it.

Check back regularly, as we will be releasing two full interviews a day of all our speakers between October 27 and November 5, 2014.
