Resettlement of the refugees in romania

Abstract

Resettlement, as durable solution to the problem of the refugees is a form of sharing the responsibility between countries regarding refugee protection and consists in the selection and transfer of some refugees from the first country of asylum, where they don’t enjoy actual protection, to a country which provides them actual protection and where they have the possibility of integration. Refugee resettlement plays an important role in the foreign policies of the European Union in the matter of refuge. The European Commission considers resettlement as an instrument providing actual protection for the refugees and which shares the responsibility between the member states within the European policy of asylum. Given the importance of this problem, the European Fund for Refugees provides the possibility of funding the resettlement activities. From the perspective of the policy and practice in the field of asylum, Romania, as new state for refugee resettlement, benefits of a positive international image due to the involvement of our country in the international effort of refugee protection.
