Return is struggle, not resignation:' lessons from the repatriation of Guatemalan refugees from Mexico Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE FORCED MIGRATION ARMED CONFLICT ASYLUM SEEKERS PROTECTION The subject of this case study is an analysis of how such protection was safeguarded despite the fact that the refugees did not always return voluntarily. To this end, the section entitled "The Guatemalan repatriation" will first establish the involuntary nature of the repatriation and then examine how this was compensated for through the guarantee of comprehensive safety upon return, as well as analyse the mechanism by which this was achieved. The finding that "voluntariness" is not a necessary precondition for non-refoulement is highly relevant in a context, in which the principle of free choice has been increasingly eroded. 2026-09-30T12:00:38Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33360540.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Return_is_struggle_not_resignation_lessons_from_the_repatriation_of_Guatemalan_refugees_from_Mexico/33360540 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
