Research from Re-ACT Lab has been formally referenced by the International Detention Coalition (IDC) in a recent submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of Migrants. The overarching report addresses the global trend of migration externalisation and its resulting human rights implications. 

Specifically, the IDC submission cited the publication Re-ACT Explains: Kosovo-Denmark Agreement to underscore the legal and ethical risks associated with Denmark's policy to lease 300 prison cells in Kosovo for individuals sentenced to expulsion. As highlighted in the submission, the outsourcing of detention raises critical concerns regarding access to legal remedies and the adequate oversight of conditions. 

This citation reinforces the importance of independent, evidence-based research in monitoring externalisation policies. Re-ACT Lab continues to advocate for transparency and accountability, ensuring that bilateral migration agreements strictly adhere to international human rights standards rather than exposing individuals to arbitrary detention and legal uncertainty.
