Art. 1
Objectives of the agreement*
During the last years, irregular and even more asylumoriented South-North flows of people have increased and have been exacerbated by recently emerging East-West flows. Although fully necessary, national entry control measures do not suffice to keep the extent and composition of immigration flows at levels which correspond to the wishes of parties. Hence, the elaboration and implementation of long-term strategies to cope with the migration phenomenon have to be given priority. Such strategies aim at facilitating early warning, combating root causes, harmonizing entry control measures and co-ordinating aliens, asylum and refugee policies.
The agreement aims at promoting international co-operation in the area of migration policies as well as relevant research in these areas.

The ICMPD will analyse current and potential migratory flows to European receiving countries, follow and examine the situation in the major countries of origin of migrants and develop measures for the improved recognition and control of migratory movements.
(2) The above international organization is a legal personality.
(3) The legal personality, privileges and immunities of ICMPD in the Republic of Austria will be regulated by the Republic of Austria.
