The current role of the International Organization for Migration in developing and implementing Migration and Mobility Partnerships

Switzerland has developed the concept of Migration Partnership that is included in Article 100 (1) of the Foreign Nationals Act ² , which entered into force on 1 January 2008. This new concept is based on the idea of asserting the Swiss migration interests while incorporating the interests of the partner state, which requires a ‘whole of government’ approach on the Swiss side.
