  • Voluntary repatriation

    Return to the country of origin based on the refugee’s free and informed decision. Voluntary repatriation is one of the three durable solutions and may be “organized” (under the auspices of the concerned governments and/or UNHCR) or “spontaneous” (the refugees return by their own means without the involvement of UNHCR and governments). See also “facilitated” and “promoted” voluntary repatriation.
