N2 - On 8 July 2016, the UN General Assembly (UN GA) adopted by consensusan Agreement Concerning the Relationship between the UN and theInternational Organization for Migration (IOM) (the 2016 Agreement).IOM renamed itself ‘UN Migration’ on the grounds that the Agreementhad transitioned it into ‘UN-related’ status, through which it became‘part of the UN family’. Yet the phrase ‘UN-related’ is neither mentionedin the agreement nor an expression of legal art. Such an interpretationfails to reflect the pre-existing legal relationship between the two organizationswhich was set out in a similar agreement concluded twenty yearsearlier. This chapter finds that in legal terms, the differences between the1996 and 2016 UN-IOM Agreements are modest. That finding is importantbecause the later Agreement has been used to justify a significant shift in IOM identity.
