Marino, Rossella and Lietaert, Ine (2019) Sustainable reintegration: identikit of a popular policy objective. IES Policy Brief Issue 2019/07, September 2019. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
Among the objectives composing the 2018 UN Global Compact for Migration, Objective 21 deals with the return of migrants to their countries of origin. This objective includes a reference to sustainable reintegration occurring when returnees have access to psycho-social assistance, justice and occupational prospects. The policy objective of sustainable reintegration apparently enjoys broad support in the face of some countries increasingly opposing the global governance of migration. Such support can be explained by making reference to sustainable reintegration’s potential to accommodate diverse interests and the limited monitoring of the programmes it underpins.
