Return infrastructures in Greece between detention and irregularisation. Policy insights and recommendations.
Executive Summary
This policy brief draws on research conducted within the Horizon project “GAPs – Decentring the Study of Migrant Returns and Readmission Policies in Europe and Beyond”. It presents key findings and policy recommendations concerning Greece’s three Return Migration Infrastructures (RMIs): forced returns, pushbacks, and the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) program implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The policy brief highlights the main challenges and shortcomings of these return processes, particularly regarding detention and irregularisation, showing how these dynamics shape all three RMIs and affect migrants and refugees in Greece.
