Internal displacement and the Global Compact on Refugees – Are today’s returning refugees tomorrow’s IDPs?

Internal displacement and the Global Compact on Refugees – Are today’s returning refugees tomorrow’s IDPs?

On the occasion of the thematic discussion for the global compact on refugees (November 2017) we publish a new policy brief , as part of IDMC's thematic series "The invisible majority", reviewing the existing policy and research and set out our position on returning refugees, internal displacement and durable solutions. Such research was collected with the aim of informing this week’s thematic discussions, and we provide concrete suggestions for input to the global compact’s programme of action.
