Who can be sustainably reintegrated after return? Using post-return monitoring for rights-based return policies

This policy brief addresses people’s post-return vulnerabilities and protection needs beyond refoulement and demonstrates that returns can both exacerbate existing, as well as create new vulnerabilities. It argues that rights-based return policies need more robust vulnerability assessments and more extensive monitoring of people’s access to rights and well-being after return.
