Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Voluntary Repatriation Most refugees want to go home Repatriation to the home country should happen only when the situation in the home country has changed in a lasting and meaningful way and the refugees can return safely . Refugees sometimes go home in large numbers after decades, (e.g. some Eritreans and Ethiopians in the early 90’s) or after a few months (e.g.Kosovars in 1999). Local Integration A refugee is considered locally integrated in the country where they sought refuge if: they can move around that country freely, they may leave and return to that country, they are allowed to earn a living, their children are allowed to attend school, there is no threat of forcible return to country of origin, and there is a possibility of acquiring permanent residence or citizenship. Most of the world’s refugees are in asylum countries neighbouring the areas of conflict. Millions are in refugee camps. Most will never become completely locally integrated.
