Note: In the context of assisted voluntary return and reintegration, voluntariness is assumed to exist if two conditions apply: (a) freedom of choice, which is defined by the absence of physical or psychological pressure to enrol in an assisted voluntary return and reintegration programme and (b) an informed decision which requires the availability of timely, unbiased and reliable information upon which to base the decision.

Examples of alternatives to detention include measures ranging from policy or legislative developments that have an impact on preventing unnecessary detention, to effective screening and identification procedures, community-based or casework-oriented models, bail, bond and surety options, open or semi‐open centres, reporting requirements and case resolution options. Note: International human rights law provides that detention, including in the migration context, must only be used as a last resort, that is when alternatives cannot be applied.
