Chapter 7 in Resettlement as Protection, 2024, pp 308-312 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Resettlement is an combination of refugees who need protection elsewhere, and meeting that need by means of an anachronistic ex-gratia scheme. UNHCR and states alike appear to remain stuck in a resettlement past that they have inherited. This work aimed to address the fact that resettlement is a clear response to the need of refugees for protection elsewhere but is nonetheless neither part of nor integrated in international refugee law. The research intended to see if resettlement can be integrated in international refugee law. The key to the integration of resettlement in international refugee law was found by dissecting what resettlement is. Resettlement is the deliberate replacement of the defaulting asylum state by another state that is prepared (and able) to meet the protection needs of the refugee concerned. The success of resettlement is a function of the quality of the asylum granted to the refugees by the resettlement state.
