Internal displacement and the global compact on refugees
More than 550,000 refugees made the arduous journey back to their countries of origin in 2016, mainly to Afghanistan, Somalia and Sudan. For many returnees, however, repatriation carries the risk of de facto internal displacement (if they are unable to go back to their place of origin or sustainably integrate elsewhere) or secondary displacement (if they are forced to uproot their lives again). This demands a more holistic approach to durable solutions that integrates planning and policy for internally displaced people (IDPs) with that for returning refugees to mitigate the risk of people being caught up in secondary, multiple or pendular movements.
