Detention of Refugees and Asylum Seekers

The latest report in UNHCR's Legal and Protection Policy Research Series is "Alternatives to Detention of Asylum Seekers and Refugees" (April 2006). The study "undertook research into the practices regarding the use of alternatives to detention for asylum seekers and/or refugees of thirty-four States."

Other resources that provide information about the detention practices of receiving countries include:
- European asylum systems: legal and social conditions for asylum seekers and refugees in Western Europe (ECRE)
- World Refugee Surveys (USCRI)
