Ustava se v izvirniku v angleškem jeziku in v prevodu v slovenskem jeziku glasi: THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES, RECALLING the Resolution adopted on 5 December 1951 by the Migration Conference in Brussels, RECOGNIZING that the provision of migration services at an international level is often required to ensure the orderly flow of migration movements throughout the world and to facilitate, under the most favourable conditions, the settlement and integration of the migrants into the economic and social structure of the country of reception, that similar migration services may also be required for temporary migration, return migration and intra-regional migration, that international migration also includes that of refugees, displaced persons and other individuals compelled to leave their homelands, and who are in need of international migration services, that there is a need to promote the co-operation of States and international organizations with a view to facilitating the emigration of persons who desire to migrate to countries where they may achieve self-dependence through their employment and live with their families in dignity and self-respect, that migration may stimulate the creation of new economic opportunities in receiving countries and that a relationship exists between migration and the economic, social and cultural conditions in developing countries, that in the co-operation and other international activities for migration the needs of developing countries should be taken into account, that there is a need to promote the co-operation of States and international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, for research and consultation on migration issues, not only in regard to the migration process but also the specific situation and needs of the migrant as an individual human being, that the movement of migrants should, to the extent possible, be carried out with normal transport services but that, on occasion, there is a need for additional or other facilities, that there should be close co-operation and co-ordination among States, international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, on migration and refugee matters, that there is a need for the international financing of activities related to international migration, DO HEREBY ESTABLISH the INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION, hereinafter called the Organization, and ACCEPT THIS CONSTITUTION. 1. The purposes and functions of the Organization shall be: (a) to make arrangements for the organized transfer of migrants, for whom existing facilities are inadequate or who would not otherwise be able to move without special assistance, to countries offering opportunities for orderly migration; (b) to concern itself with the organized transfer of refugees, displaced persons and other individuals in need of international migration services for whom arrangements may be made between the Organization and the States concerned, including those States undertaking to receive them; (c) to provide, at the request of and in agreement with the States concerned, migration services such as recruitment, selection, processing, language training, orientation activities, medical examination, placement, activities facilitating reception and integration, advisory services on migration questions, and other assistance as is in accord with the aims of the Organization; (d) to provide similar services as requested by States, or in co-operation with other interested international organizations, for voluntary return migration, including voluntary repatriation; (e) to provide a forum to States as well as international and other organizations for the exchange of views and experiences, and the promotion of co-operation and co-ordination of efforts on international migration issues, including studies on such issues in order to develop practical solutions. 2.

POGODBENICE SKLICUJOČ SE NA Resolucijo, ki je bila sprejeta na Konferenci za migracije v Bruslju dne 5. decembra 1951, OB SPOZNANJU, da se pogosto zahteva opravljanje migracijskih storitev na mednarodni ravni, da se zagotovi urejen potek migracijskih gibanj po vsem svetu in da se pod najugodnejšimi pogoji pospešita naseljevanje in vključevanje migrantov v gospodarsko in socialno strukturo države sprejemnice, da se utegnejo podobne migracijske storitve zahtevati tudi pri začasni, povratni in medregionalni migraciji, da mednarodna migracija zajema tudi preseljevanje beguncev, razseljenih oseb in drugih posameznikov, ki so prisiljeni zapustiti svojo domovino in potrebujejo mednarodne migracijske storitve, da obstaja potreba po pospeševanju sodelovanja držav in mednarodnih organizacij, da bi olajšali izseljevanje oseb, ki se želijo preseliti v države, kjer lahko postanejo samostojne z zaposlitvijo in živijo s svojimi družinami v dostojanstvu in samospoštovanju, da utegne migracija spodbuditi ustvarjanje novih gospodarskih priložnosti v državah sprejemnicah ter da obstaja povezava med preseljevanjem in gospodarskimi, socialnimi in kulturnimi razmerami v državah v razvoju, da naj se pri sodelovanju in drugih mednarodnih dejavnostih, povezanih z migracijo, upoštevajo potrebe držav v razvoju, da obstaja potreba po pospeševanju sodelovanja držav in mednarodnih organizacij, vladnih in nevladnih, za proučevanje migracijskih vprašanj in posvetovanje v zvezi z njimi, ne samo glede na migracijski proces, temveč tudi glede na poseben položaj in potrebe migranta kot posameznika, da naj se prevoz migrantov do največje možne mere opravi z običajnimi prevoznimi sredstvi, da pa se včasih pojavijo potrebe po dodatnih ali drugih sredstvih, da naj države, mednarodne organizacije, vladne in nevladne, pri migracijskih in begunskih zadevah med seboj tesno sodelujejo in se usklajujejo, da je treba dejavnosti, povezane z mednarodno migracijo, financirati na mednarodni ravni, USTANAVLJAJO MEDNARODNO ORGANIZACIJO ZA MIGRACIJE, v nadaljevanju organizacija, in SPREJEMAJO TO USTAVO.
