How voluntary is ‘voluntary return’?

Usikkerhet rundt hva norsk politi har lov til å foreta seg overfor avviste etiopiske asylsøkere, har ført til problemer med utsendelsene som er planlagt

‘Voluntary return’ has increased dramatically in Norway since 2008, with more than 1000 returnees to Iraq alone. At this seminar, PRIO and CMR will present a recent evaluation of the return and reintegration program to Iraq.

The presentation of the report will be followed by a broader discussion of different perspectives on return programs, post-return reintegration and the sustainability of return. Invited speakers are Ruerd Ruben (Radboud University Nijmegen) and Ingvald Bertelsen (NOAS).

The seminar will take place Wednesday 23 November 09:30-12:00 at PRIO, Hausmanns gate 7, Oslo.
