Resettlement
Resettlement is one of the ways that refugees in regions of origin can be offered the chance to rebuild their lives in safety. It allows them to be transferred to a third country that is able to offer them the protection they need. Despite today’s acute global resettlement needs, Europe is doing comparatively little to resettle refugees. ECRE believes Europe can and should resettle more refugees. All European countries should contribute to this. Those that already have resettlement programmes should ensure that they resettle the maximum number of refugees that is possible. Those that have no resettlement programme should look into establishing one. Europe should also work towards establishing a collective resettlement programme led by the EU. |
