2016-2017 Annual Report
February 13, 2017
This past year we have seen an unfortunate history in the making: record amounts of people are being forced to leave their homes due to conflict and displacement.
It also comes at a time of growing populism and national xenophobia and its direct influence on securitization and border control, including enforcement regimes, immigration detention and restricting access to territory.
In the face of these challenges, the IDC and its now more than 380 members from 84 countries have worked tirelessly over this past year to highlight that detention is not the answer, not now or ever.
