The Global Detention Project (GDP) is a research initiative that assesses states’ use of detention in response to global migration. Based at the Graduate Institute’s Programme for the Study of Global Migration in Geneva, Switzerland, the GDP’s aims include: (1) providing researchers, advocates, and journalists with a measurable and regularly updated baseline for
analysing the growth and evolution of detention practices and policies; (2) encouraging scholarship in this field of immigration studies; and (3) facilitating accountability and transparency in the treatment of detainees.

To the reader

Millions of people in the world are citizens of nowhere. They cannot vote. They cannot get jobs in most professions. They cannot own property or obtain a passport. These “stateless” people frequently face discrimination, harassment, violence, and severe socioeconomic hardship. Due to their status, they are often denied access to even the most basic healthcare and education that is available to citizens in the same country.
