Government policy on repatriation The Belgian Government confirmed to RSI in November 2020 that its policy is to permit repatriation of children under the age of 10 with confirmed Belgian nationality. 2 For children aged between ten and 18 years old, the Coordination Unit for Threat Analysis (‘CUTA’) will carry out a case-by-case assessment to determine whether the teenager represents a terrorist threat or not. The Belgian Government does not offer active assistance to adults for repatriation, however, if an adult Belgian national manages to reach a Belgian embassy, he or she will receive travel documents to enable their return. 58 RIGHTS & SECURITY INTERNATIONAL
