The United Nations (UN) International Migrants Day is annually held on December 18 to recognize the efforts, contributions, and rights of migrants worldwide. 

It is the aim of the United Nations to make sure that all migrants and their families are looked after properly. Therefore, they created the convention as a way to achieve this aim and ensure that the rights of all migrants and their families are being met.
