ABSTRACT

In recent years, the refugee issue has a great influence on the international arena. In 2019 there will be 1741 thousands of refugees going back to their homes, accounting for 9.1% of the total, while 20.5% of IDPs are going to return.[1] Meanwhile, 150,000 refugees were voluntarily repatriated to Africa from 2014 to 2017.[2] Additionally, economic refugees are also a difficult problem to solve in the refugee return problem. From January 2019, an increasing number of refugees from Zimbabwe have fled to South Africa because of the worsening economic crisis. South Africa’s African National Congress reaffirms its commitment to bilateral cooperation for the safe and sustainable return of the refugees.[3] Firstly, this paper summarizes the existing refugee issue globally, and the measures taken by each country, region or organization are analyzed and compared secondly. Thirdly, in view of the current problems and policies, this paper puts forward further suggestions on all aspects.
