  • A Legal Identity and Rights-Based Return Management Conference was organised by IOM at the UN City in Copenhagen, Denmark.
  • The initiative was organised within the framework of IOM’s Global Programme Enhancing Readmission and Legal Identity Capacities (RELICA), launched in 2022.
  • It aimed to promote dialogue between countries of origin and destination for such people without legal identities.
  • About a billion people lack legal identities and are invisible to states, limiting their access to services and restricting their mobility, forcing them to travel longer, more dangerous and irregular routes.
