PEACE-BUILDING MEASURE [2 records]

Record 1 2007-09-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Citizenship and Immigration
CONT

Refugee returns are linked to much larger processes of peace with repatriation and reintegration viewed as a measure of successful peace-building.

CONT

The principle of voluntariness is the cornerstone of international protection with respect to the return of refugees. While the issue of voluntary repatriation as such is not addressed in the 1951 Refugee Convention, it follows directly from the principle of non-refoulement: the involuntary return of refugees would in practice amount to refoulement. A person retaining a well-founded fear of persecution is a refugee, and cannot be compelled to repatriate.

PHR

Forcible return.
