refugee resettlement  

Definición

  • Refugee resettlement occurs when those who have fled their country of origin and taken refuge in a country of first asylum, often a neighboring state, are then resettled in a third country that agrees to give them permanent resident status. Refugee resettlement is an important way to ensure burden sharing between countries of first asylum, which are often poor and inundated with refugees from surrounding conflict areas, and developed countries, whose geographic isolation has historically protected them from large influxes of refugees.
