ABSTRACT

The International Organization Migration (IOM) has expanded dramatically, with
many scholars arguing that IOM has thrived because of its place on the margins
of the UN, where it could execute restrictive migration management programs on
behalf of states, unencumbered by human rights norms and protection obligations.
However, in recent years, IOM has adopted human rights discourse and expressed
commitment to human rights and humanitarian standards, including in an extensive
set of new institutional policies. This article analyzes this development
through the prism of international relations theories on the legitimation of
international organizations, particularly through discursive strategies. The
contribution is two-fold. First, we trace the evolution of IOM’s human rights
discourse and identify key themes in this rhetoric, highlighting its bridging of
rights-talk and management-speak; its constitution of particular groups of
‘vulnerable’ migrants IOM then positions itself to assist; and its blending of
rights commitments and fledging advocacy efforts with continued deference to
states. Second, we provide a fresh account of why IOM has acted this way,
considering these developments as part of an institutional legitimation strategy
that aims to strengthen IOM’s perceived legitimacy internally and in the eyes of
key constituents, particularly states and other international organizations.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).


NOTES

1 For analyses of how IOM’s operations sometimes contradict its human rights
discourse, see e.g. Georgi and Schatral Citation2012; Miramond Citation2020;
Lecadet Citation2020. On the persistent legal limitations of the IOM
Constitution and IOM’s evolving legal obligations, see Chetail Citation2019,
Citation2022; Bradley, Costello, and Sherwood Citation2023, forthcoming.

2 The sample included all English-language speeches from 2006–2021 posted to
IOM’s global website. 230 of the 403 speeches were delivered by directors
general; the remainder were delivered by other senior IOM officials such as the
deputy director and representatives to the United Nations. The sample included
33 speeches delivered in 2006; 25 in 2007; 27 in 2008; 38 in 2009; 43 in 2010;
39 in 2011; 27 in 2012; 29 in 2013; 8 in 2014; 39 in 2015; 30 in 2016; 21 in
2017; 6 in 2018; 10 in 2019; 14 in 2020; and 12 in 2021.

3 Our sample included all English-language press releases posted to the IOM
global website issued in 2006 (n = 342), 2007 (n = 337), 2016 (n = 901), 2017
(n = 866), and 2021 (n = 177, as of 7 December 2021). This allowed us to observe
discursive shifts across this period. Our samples provide insight into
headquarters-based, high-level discursive developments and legitimation
strategies. In future, it would be instructive to compare this high-level
discourse with that of mid-level and field-based officials.

4 For other studies of diverse aspects of IOM’s institutional discourse, see for
example Pécoud Citation2015; Thorvaldsdottir and Patz Citation2021; Campillo
Carrete and Gasper Citation2011; Green and Pécoud Citation2022.

5 To enable open discussion of sensitive institutional concerns, the interviews
have been anonymised. The interview protocol was approved by the McGill
University Research Ethics Board, File 119-1015. Key themes from these
interviews were identified using a grounded coding process.

6 On this development and the contested meaning of ‘related organization’
status, see Guild and Grant Citation2017; Bradley Citation2021.

7 For legal analyses, see e.g. Guild, Grant, and Groenendijk Citation2017 and
Chetail Citation2019, 2022. On broader implications of IOM’s entry into the UN
system, see Geiger and Pécoud Citation2020.

8 For exceptions see Hall Citation2016 and Korneev Citation2018.

9 IOM’s adaptation to shifting demands arising from its institutional
environment may be understood, in part, in terms of institutional isomorphism
whereby coercive, mimetic and normative mechanisms foster homogeneity across
organizations in particular fields (DiMaggio and Powell Citation1983; Park
Citation2014).

10 Interview, member state official 1, November 2015.

11 Interview, member state official 1.

12 Interview, IOM official 13, November 2015.

13 In attempting to legitimize itself by emphasizing service to states and
individuals, IOM is following a general trend in IO legitimation (Dingwerth et
al. Citation2019).

14 Interviews, member state officials 4 and 5, December 2016; Interviews,
humanitarian actors 8 (NGO) and 9 (UN), December 2016; Interview, humanitarian
actor 12 (UN), December 2019.

15 Refugees represent an exception.

16 Interview, IOM officials 3, 4, 5, November 2015.

17 Interview, human rights advocate 5, December 2015.

18 Beyond pragmatic recognition that respect for these norms is essential to
fundraising, some suggest members of IOM’s migration and border management teams
are also invested in upholding sovereign authority in migration decision-making
on principle (Bradley Citation2020).

19 Interview, IOM official 2, November 2015.

20 Interview, member state official 2, December 2016.

21 Interview, member state official 4, December 2016.

22 Interview, member state official 3, December 2016.

23 This may be understood in terms of mimetic institutional isomorphism, as
noted above.

24 Interviews, IOM officials 3 and 13; IOM official 16, October 2019; IOM
official 17, December 2019; IOM official 21, February 2020.

25 Interview, humanitarian actor 2 (UN), November 2015; Interviews, humanitarian
actors 1 (UN), 5 (NGO), 6 (UN), November 2015; Interview, humanitarian actors 7
and 9 (UN), December 2015; Interview, humanitarian actor 11 (UN), November 2019;
Interview, human rights advocate 13 (UN), January 2018.

26 Interview, independent expert 8 (former senior UN official), April 2020.

27 Interview, independent expert 6 (former senior UN official), October 2019;
Interview, independent expert 8 (former senior UN official), April 2020.

28 Interview, human rights advocate 2, November 2015; Interview, human rights
advocate 5; Interviews, human rights advocates 7 and 10, December 2016.

29 Interview, humanitarian actor 10 (UN), September 2019; Interview,
humanitarian actor 12 (UN); Interview, humanitarian actor 13 (UN), July 2021.

30 Interviews, humanitarian actor 8 (NGO) and 12 (UN); Interview, member state
official 2; Interview, member state official 11, July 2017; Interview,
independent expert 8 (former senior UN official).

31 IO mandates are widely understood to extend beyond the formal terms of their
constitutive documents (Barnett and Finnemore Citation2004).

32 Interviews, IOM officials 3, 4, 5, 13 and 17; Interview, IOM official 19,
January 2020; Interview, IOM official 21, February 2020; Interview, IOM official
22, June 2021.

33 Interview, member state official 5, December 2016.

34 Personal communication, IOM staff member, June 2015; Interview, IOM official
