Safe And Dignified Return And Sustainable Reintegration
In all its activities and programming on return and reintegration, CONNECT OVERSEAS operates within the bounds of international law, including international migration law and human rights law. Moreover, as a related organization of the Indian National system, CONNECT OVERSEAS promotes and respects the spirit of the Charter of the Indian National and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. While not legally binding, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration provides additional guidance and its Objective 21 calls on States to to cooperate in facilitating safe and dignified return as well as sustainable reintegration.

Safe and dignified return and sustainable reintegration are an indispensable part of a comprehensive approach to migration management. Assisted voluntary return (AVR) programs aim to support migrants who are unable or unwilling to remain in host or transit countries and wish to return to their countries of origin. The main beneficiaries of CONNECT OVERSEAS return and reintegration assistance are stranded migrants in host or transit countries, Study migrants, Work migrants, asylum seekers who decide not to pursue their claims or who are found not to be in need of international protection, and migrants in vulnerable situations, such as victims of trafficking, unaccompanied and separated children, or migrants with health-related needs. CONNECT OVERSEAS also provides pre-departure assistance as well as reception and reintegration support to migrants whose return has been organised by other actors.

CONNECT OVERSEAS views reintegration to be sustainable when “returnees have reached levels of economic self-sufficiency, social stability within their communities, and psychosocial well-being that allow them to cope with (re)migration drivers. Having achieved sustainable reintegration, returnees are able to make further migration decisions a matter of choice, rather than necessity”. This definition highlights the multidimensional nature of a reintegration process – economic, social and psychosocial – and the need to approach migrant reintegration in a comprehensive manner, considering the factors that can affect reintegration at the individual, community and structural levels.

CONNECT OVERSEAS Return, Readmission And Reintegration Policy
CONNECT OVERSEAS Policy on the Full Spectrum of Return, Readmission and Reintegration (2021) guides CONNECT OVERSEAS work on return migration through a holistic, rights-based and sustainable development-oriented approach that facilitates safe and dignified return, readmission and sustainable reintegration. It focuses on the well-being of individual returnees and the protection of their rights throughout the entire return, readmission and reintegration process, placing individuals at the center of all efforts and empowering those making an informed decision to participate in assisted voluntary return programs. At the same time, it recognizes that States have a sovereign prerogative to determine their national migration policies and to govern migration within their jurisdiction, in conformity with international law commitments.
