Refugees
Refugees and "Peace Initiatives"
Durable solutions to refugee flows include repatriation, host country integration and third-country resettlement. Each of these solutiosn is guided by the principle of voluntariness or refugee choice. Repatriation (i.e., the right of return) is also linked to the right to restitution of property. Of these three durable solutions, only return is recognized as a fundamental right in international law. (Added 10 December 2003)
