2 What is Refugee Resettlement? Resettlement is a tool to provide international protection and meet the specific needs of individual refugees whose life, liberty, safety, health or other fundamental rights are at risk in the country where they have sought refuge. Responses to Emergency Situations (ex-libya). Emergency Resettlement of Protection Cases. Medical urgencies and other protection needs (victims of torture, sexual violence, disabled refugees) Refugees may be denied basic human rights in a country where they sought asylum; In such instances, the timely relocation of refugees through resettlement becomes an imperative tool to protect refugees.

Out of the 10.5 million refugees under the mandate of UNHCR, some 7.2 million worldwide continue to live in exile for more than 5 years. Resettlement can bring new hopes to these protracted refugees. Resettlement can also be used strategically to leverage wider protection and solutions benefits to refugees not being resettled.

7 Global Challenges to Resettlement. Additional security vetting procedures; Access to refugee populations in certain countries of asylum (Syria, Kenya, Eritrea, Yemen); Increasing complexity of profiles and requirements by Resettlement States Imbalanced response: One single resettlement country remains responsible for 70% of resettlement intake worldwide.
8 North Africa, the Crisis in Libya. o o o o o 2011 Global Solidarity Resettlement Initiative, serving the three functions of resettlement. Situation in border regions of Tunisia and Egypt with Libya: 5,000 refugees submitted for resettlement (3,000 in Shousha, Tunisia and 2,000 in Saloum, Egypt); Nine EU Member States out of a total of 13 participated. Top intakes by USA (expected 3, %), Norway (485) and Sweden (350). Nine EU MS have accepted 835 refugees. Departures mid-may 2012: 1,450 from Shousha (including embassy procedures Switzerland and Canada) and 250 from
