The main objectives of the Bali Process "Returns Project" were to:
- examine policies and activities of governments when they return people who have no legal authority to remain in their territory to another country, and
- collect and provide information that may assist governments when they develop relevant policies, draft bilateral agreements and undertake returns.
The first phase of the project was a survey of return policies and practices in Bali Process countries, which was concluded in March 2003. The second phase was a workshop (hosted by Australia as Coordinator of the Returns Project) held jointly with the Budapest Process in May 2004 in Perth, Australia. The third phase is the establishment of a repository of information relating to returns on this website, including a collection of model paragraphs for use in drafting bilateral agreements.
