Description

Examines the three durable solutions for refugees, local integration, repatriation and resettlement. Resettlement has traditionally been seen as a minor part of durable solutions and little attention has been paid to developing a body of resettlement theory. Current trends from UNHCR and the international community is to encourage more developed countries to use resettlement as a tool to provide solutions for dismantling long established refugee camps, and to provide group resettlement. Refugees from these situations have acute resettlement needs. Encourages students to identify these needs and appropriate responses to issues such as the identification of refugees for resettlement, the resettlement process, and for adequate resettlement services in country of final destination.

* As this is an elective course, it will only be offered if there are sufficient enrolments.
