Returnees

For many of the millions forced to flee, returning home concludes an often traumatic time in exile. It may happen months, years or even decades after they left – and sometimes not at all.

Over the years, UNHCR has managed numerous voluntary repatriation programmes that have brought millions of displaced people home.

We also assist with small-scale and individual repatriations, and, where necessary, monitor the reintegration of returnees to ensure that their repatriation was a sustainable solution.
