The Inter-American Course on the protection of internally displaced persons, migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, stateless persons, survivors of human trafficking and returnees in need of protection in the Americas seeks to contribute to the response of the OAS Member States in the context of the current dynamics of human mobility, providing a space for the exchange of good practices, as well as the review of universal and inter-American standards. 

This space for learning and professional development is aimed at strengthening the technical knowledge of officials of institutions of the Member States, as well as officials of the Permanent Missions of the Member States of the OAS, Permanent Observers to the OAS, the General Secretariat, and other interested actors on forced displacement, international protection and migration, based on the current situation in the region. The course has been held annually since 2020.
