2. INTRODUCTION
The present paper brings the United Nations Resolutions and Reports to a critical analysis of the international migration and development considering the contribution of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to support the post-2015 UN Development Agenda

3. MAIN RESEARCH STEPS
Step1 . Research questions
Q1. What are the main Declarations and Conventions Contained for each session?
Q2. What are main categories of items selected for each Session
Step 2. Formulation, identification and explanation of the:
2.1. UN Sessions (components): the 67th Session (2012), 68th Session (2013) and 69th Session (2014) of the United Nations
2.2. determination of the research units

4. Links to international migration and development
Step 3. Linking research to the international migration and development approach

5. MAIN RESEARCH STEPS
Step 4. Definition and argumentation of the research approach (identification of research categories and items)
First category: international migration
Second category: development
4.1. exploration of the research and argumentative research
4.2. relational and causal research

6. Steps 5-8 Step 5. Sample strategies and sample research design
Step 6. Data collection/ category
Step 7. Data processing and examination of common category of items
Step 8. Results and discussion

7. Determination of the research material 4. 1

11. C. analysis of the 69th Session (2014)
C. analysis of the 69th Session (2014) of the United Nations approaching the following topics:
C1) protection of migrants;
C2) international migration and development;
C3) assistance and support for refugees, returnees and displaced persons in Africa;
C4) human mobility, migrants children, here including adolescents. In theoretical interpretation, the analysis of the UN Resolutions and Reports demonstrates the results of a three multi-level approach: international migration-development- human rights.
