Abstract
The solution pursued to confront the massive refugee crisis facing the world today has been directed towards" repatriation" as constituting a durable means for this task. Although it has been said that repatriation constitutes a right and linked to other international legal norms, its precise legal content has not been advanced.
It is the aim of this article to examine what kind of legal rule" repatriation" constitutes and whether or not it represents a human right, either directly or indirectly. To achieve this, the right to enter is examined against the right to return to ascertain their nature, in addition to their similarities and differences. These features are discerned in terms of their codification under international law but also in terms of the way international practice has shaped them in their contemporary context, especially with reference to the former Yugoslavia.
