Ensuring the conformity of mandatory return with international law
standards.
Implementation of mandatory return with the full knowledge and
agreement of the country of origin including through such measures as
conclusion of bilateral and multilateral agreements.
d. Temporary Return
Migration today is often not uni-directional or permanent but instead circular
in pattern. Temporary return enables a migrant to maintain contact with
his/her family and community of origin while retaining authorization to reenter
the host country. It contributes to strengthening relations between
migrants and their countries of origin and to facilitating the voluntary (final)
return of migrants.
Effective practices with regard to temporary return:
Consideration of visa and other administrative measures to facilitate
the temporary return and re-entry through, for example, the issuance
of multiple-entry visas in appropriate cases.
Promotion of opportunities for the temporary return of migrants to
their homes or places of habitual residence, without loss of the ability
to re-enter the host country.
Consideration of providing opportunities for temporary return while
maintaining access to certain host country benefits.
e. Reintegration of Migrants
Effective reintegration of migrants back into their home communities is an
essential element in their ability to lead productive lives upon return and to
facilitate the sustainability of return. As with integration into a host country,
effective reintegration consists of many elements, including social, political
and economic, and requires the active engagement of the migrant. Productive
reintegration into local economic and social activity enables the migrant to
attain self-sufficiency and the country of origin to more effectively use the
skills, expertise and resources gained in the host countries. Programmes
which facilitate reintegration, including vocational training, micro-enterprise
development and other forms of targeted assistance, not only assist returning
migrants but can assist their communities of return to create a climate of
receptivity to returning migrants and opportunities for the community as a
whole.
