About

Analysis of EU returns governance and its implications for migrants 

Project Outcomes

  • Creation of a data Repository, including qualitative and quantitative data on national return regimes.
  • Analysis of how EU return policy is interpreted and implemented in the member states.
  • Analysis of return prospects of refugees to Syria: despite an end to warfare in most areas, safe return remains unattainable. The Syrian regime and other military actors continue to pose severe threats to the lives and survival of Syrians, including returnees.
