Resettlement

is a movement of refugees migrating from the current asylum country to another country, to seek a more sustainable and hopeful environment.
 

Resettlement in Japan

The Japanese government launched the Refugee Resettlement Programme in 2010, and since then 45 refugees who formerly lived in a refugee camp in Thailand have been admitted through the programme (as of March 2013).

CDR has been engaging in research about RRP since the beginning of the programme, by interviewing the refugees and visiting their resettled locations and the refugee camp. The following are the keys to understanding RRP in Japan.
  • RRP: Background
  • RRP: Chronology
  • RRP: Academic Interests

Resettlement in the World

Since the founding of UNHCR in 1951, over 7 million refugees and their families have been resettled. In recent years, over 70,000 refugees and their families are admitted each year through resettlement across the world.
The following topics are helpful to understand the situation.
  • The Annual Tripartite Consultations on Resettlement
  • The Worldwide Community of Resettled Refugees
