- Immigration Detention as an Exceptional Measure of Last Resort
November 28, 2023
This briefing paper was written to provide an overview of the international standard that immigration detention should only be used as an “exceptional measure of last resort”, in order to highlight promising practice and encourage further progress in this area. It aims to inspire and embolden governments, local authorities, international organisations, civil society and community actors and other stakeholders, with steps they can take to move away from the use of immigration detention.
