right of return
Homecoming legal claim
Right of return is a claimed or legal entitlement to go back to one's homeland or place of origin.
The phrase appears most often in discussions of displaced peoples and refugees: Palestinians assert a right of return to lands lost in 1948.
In commercial contexts, right of return allows customers to send back purchases for refunds within a specified period.
