Make facilitating safe and dignified refugee return a strategic UK foreign policy objective
Recommendation
UNHCR surveys of refugee intentions indicate that most refugees wish to return to their country of origin, when it is safe to do so. Displacement crises will only be solved once communities have a safe and dignified route to return. Facilitating such routes must be strategic objectives of not only UK development policy, but UK foreign policy and diplomacy. (Paragraph 48) 24 UK aid for refugee host countries
