Context & Explainers
Repatriation is the return of people to their country of origin, which can be voluntary or carried out by state authorities. In migration policy it usually refers to deportations or organised returns of irregular migrants under legal procedures or assisted-return schemes, and it directly affects migrants, asylum seekers and the organisations that support them.
