The Issue-based Coalition on Human Mobility (IBC-HM) of the Regional Collaborative Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean aims to complement existing mechanisms (e.g. other Issue-based Coalitions, United Nations networks on migration, the Global Refugee Forum, the Comprehensive Regional Protection and Solutions Framework (MIRPS), the Regional Conference on Migration (RCM), the South American Conference on Migration (CSM), the Ibero-American Network of Migration Authorities (RIAM) and other related coordination platforms). This IBC serves as a regional platform for United Nations agencies and stakeholders, including civil society organizations, to support Resident Coordinators and United Nations country teams in responding to the situations of refugees, migrants, host communities, and communities of return in the Americas.
