Announced inspection of Dungavel House Immigration Removal Centre carried out
between 21 and 25 June 2010 and
Unannounced short follow-up inspection of Oakington Immigration Reception
Centre carried out between 2 and 5 August 2010.
The report, "The Future of Migration: Building Capacities for Change", argues that in a world where demographics, economic needs and the effects of environmental change are driving the inexorable rise in numbers of international migrants, governments and non-state actors have little choice but to invest adequate financial and human resources to ensure States, societies and migrants reap the full potential of future migration.
On November 29th, IOM will release its fifth World Migration report, entitled "The Future of Migration: Building Capacities for Change." The World Migration Report 2010, draws upon the findings of 19 background papers which are released separately today. The background papers, prepared by distinguished migration experts focus on a range of different policy themes and geographical regions, providing a global perspective on the future of migration, and the capacities which are likely to be needed to manage migration successfully in the coming years.

Repatriation and belonging on the borders of Uganda and South Sudan
IRRI's Senior Researcher Lucy Hovil has written UNHCR's latest working paper on the process of repatriation of Southern Sudanese refugees in Uganda. While the official repatriation process continues, the paper demonstrates that refugees are creating their own durable solutions through a combination of economic and social integration and ongoing movement in and out of Sudan. The paper explores both the process of official repatriation and the practical survival strategies and how to create better resonance between the two.
