Amsterdam holds a long history as a city of refuge. It was one of the members of the original International Parliament of Writers (IPW) from the 1990s, and the International Network of Cities of Asylum (INCA), established in 1995. Amsterdam was one of the founding members of ICORN, and has a complex structure with regards to how the City of Refuge is run.

Amsterdam was the venue of the 2015 ICORN Network Meeting.
