Brief description:
In times of unprecedented high numbers of forcibly displaced persons in the world, refugee resettlement, where persons are directly transferred to a state that has agreed to permanently host them, provides a durable solution for refugees to live their lives in dignity and peace. However, given that the number of persons in need for resettlement largely exceeds the number of resettlement quota, only a few selected refugees are offered resettlement places. Being admitted for resettlement is thus widely considered a ‘gift’ for the selected refugees while they themselves have no say in the outcome of the selection process, for instance with regards to their destination country.Methodology:
