Summary
This publication will serve to reinforce the essential role of resettlement in Europe. In the long run, access to resettlement should not only decrease the potential for secondary movements for refugees who have not found effective protection in countries of ‘first asylum’, but also reduce their exploitation by human traffickers. UNHCR hopes that readers will be inspired to promote resettlement as part of a comprehensive approach to refugee protection in Europe, linked not only to the Common European Asylum System, but also to the entire range of migration issues as well as the other ‘durable solutions’. The guide can be downloaded here.
