Note(s)
1. There is no legal definition of the term 'stranded migrant'; however, the term has been used by academics and organisations such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) since 2006.
2. According to UNESCO, migrants may become stranded due to circumstances in the country of origin, a position of prolonged detention or practical difficulties. Stranded migrants may be individuals whose claim for refugee status has been rejected.
