Report: How immigration detention is increasingly on the United Nations agenda

Immigration detention has increasingly been on the UN agenda over the past two years.

The International Detention Coalition (IDC) has been working at the international level, as well as regionally, through education, networking, advocacy, reporting and research, with a particular focus on preventing and limiting the use of, seeking alternatives to, and using the least restrictive forms of, immigration detention. 

This IDC report aims to provide a brief on the developments and gaps on the immigration detention issue at the UN level over the past few years.
