THE ROLE OF THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES IN RESETTLEMENT REFUGEES

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, better known by its acronym, is one of the United Nations organizations. It was established with the aim of protecting and supporting refugees, at the request of a government, or the United Nations itself. Refugees contribute to the completion of their voluntary return to their home countries, integration into receiving societies, or resettlement to a third country. Many refugees cannot return to their homes due to ongoing conflicts, wars and persecution. Many also live in precarious situations or have specific needs that cannot be addressed in the country in which they seek protection. In such circumstances, UNHCR assists in resettling refugees to a third country. Resettlement is defined as the transfer of refugees from one country of asylum to another state that has agreed to accept them and ultimately grant them permanent residency. UNHCR is mandated by its statute and UN General Assembly resolutions to undertake the resettlement process as one of the three durable solutions
