RESETTLEMENT AND OTHER FORMS OF ADMISSION FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES
This is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Syrians have become the largest refugee population under UNHCR’s mandate, and the massive influx has had an enormous impact on the neighbouring countries. This is not a situation that can be addressed with a ‘business as usual’ approach. We need a quantum leap - in mobilizing funding support, in burden-sharing and in the search for a political solution.
António Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Conference on the Syrian Refugee Situation – Supporting Stability in the Region
Berlin, 28 October 2014
Overview
As the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic continues, more than 3.2 million Syrians have become refugees in the surrounding region, and UNHCR expects that growing numbers of civilians will continue to seek safety and assistance across international borders. UNHCR has encouraged the international community to share the burden with host States in the region by offering opportunities for resettlement or other forms of admission for Syrian refugees. The development of these avenues also helps to provide safe legal alternatives to perilous, irregular secondary movements by land and sea, which are currently affecting several countries around the Mediterranean and further afield.
In September 2013, UNHCR called upon States to admit 30,000 Syrian refugees through resettlement, humanitarian admission, or other programmes from 2013 to 2014, with a focus on protecting the most vulnerable. During the high- level segment of the Executive Committee on solidarity and burden-sharing with States hosting Syrian refugees, held in October 2013, it was agreed that the crisis has gone far beyond requiring only humanitarian assistance. At that meeting, Member States reaffirmed their support for the host States
in the region, and many announced special quotas for resettlement or other forms of admission for Syrian refugees. In light of the growing needs of the Syrian refugee population, however, 30,000 places represented only the first benchmark. In February 2014, UNHCR called upon States to make multi-annual commitments toward an additional 100,000 places for Syrian refugees by 2016.
UNHCR is convening a ministerial-level pledging conference on resettlement and other forms of admission for Syrian refugees on 9 December 2014 in Geneva, which will provide an opportunity for States to make pledges towards meeting the overall goal of 130,000 places. Reaching this target requires new and innovative approaches, and States are encouraged to consider an array of admission programmes.
The total pledges and places made available for Syrian refugees since 2013 stands at more than 43,500. In addition, to date, nearly 9,500 visas have been granted by States under other forms of admission. An unprecedented majority of these places come from European States. UNHCR has also so far submitted more than 9,000 Syrians to the United States of America. These numbers combined bring us nearly half-way towards the goal of 130,000.
PLEDGES FOR RESETTLEMENT
AND OTHER FORMS OF ADMISSION FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES
IN ADDITION...
è Brazil has so far issued 4,200 humanitarian visas. Individuals admitted to Brazil under this programme have the right to apply for refugee status.
è Switzerland initiated a temporary extended family reunification programme for Syrian refugees from September to November 2013. Under this programme, 8,200 applications were received, and nearly 4,000 visas have been issued to date.
è The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has so far accepted 90 Syrian refugees under the the Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme (number
of arrivals as at last quarterly published statistics).
è Ireland has launched the immigration-based Syrian Humanitarian Admission Programme.
è Since January 2013, France has provided 1,142 asylum visas for Syrians, which enable them to travel to France for the purpose of applying for asylum.
è UNHCR has so far submitted more than 9,000 Syrian refugees to the United States of America for resettlement consideration.
è A number of scholarship programmes have been created for Syrian students whose education has been interrupted by the conflict.
As of 27 November 2014
HAJAR
“My name is Hajar Talal Alkheder. I am 19 years old, and I live in the Netherlands with my mother, three brothers, and
one sister. We are from Syria, and we arrived in Holland on the 14th of July 2014. We feel lucky to have such a new life. I lost my father in prison in Syria without any reason. Now we have a safe life, and we are away from the pain of homelesness. The future is our hope.
Resettlement is a golden opportunity for us as Syrian refugees. Now everyone of my family is learning Dutch. My dream
is to study petrochemical engineering. It is a big challenge. I want to share this information with the international organizations, because resettlement is our salvation. It’s a chance for a better
future. Syrian refugees need your help.”
What is meant by resettlement and other forms of admission?
As part of the emergency response, UNHCR encourages the international community to consider expanding resettlement as a protection tool and opening up new avenues for admission as a show of solidarity, in order to meet the growing needs in the region.
Resettlement is one of the durable solutions UNHCR is mandated to implement in cooperation with States. Resettlement is the transfer of refugees from a State in which they have sought protection to a third State that has agreed to admit them as refugees with permanent residence status. The status provided ensures protection against refoulement and provides access to civil, political,
economic, social, and cultural rights similar to those enjoyed by nationals, as well as the opportunity to become a naturalized citizen. Resettlement plays a vital role for refugees whose life, liberty, safety, health, or other human rights are at risk. States are encouraged to offer resettlement places for Syrians in addition to their annual resettlement quotas to ensure that resettlement opportunities are also available for refugees from the rest of the world.
Humanitarian admission is similar to resettlement, and is an expedited process providing protection in a third country for refugees with urgent needs. Residence under humanitarian admission may be either permanent or temporary, depending upon a State’s legislation. Humanitarian admission may be used for specific categories of refugees, such as vulnerable persons, extended family members, or individuals with medical needs. States that have offered different forms of humanitarian admission for Syrians include: Austria (1,500), France (500), Germany (20,000), Ireland (Syrian Humanitarian Admission Programme), and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme). IOM supports these humanitarian admission schemes by providing a range of pre-departure services such as health assessments, cultural orientation, and facilitated transportation.
Community-based private sponsorship taps into private resources to enable refugees to be resettled with the support of private citizens with a legal entity, NGOs, or other interested parties such as local authorities or faith-based groups. Private sponsorship programmes, such as those in Australia and Canada, can create bonds between refugees, community-based organizations, and receiving communities, and can take place alongside or in hybrid arrangements with government resettlement programmes. Private sponsorship can also enable refugees to reunite with extended family members who may not otherwise qualify under family reunification criteria. Sponsors may take responsibility for some of the costs associated with resettlement, reception, and integration support in the receiving community, thereby extending the country’s capacity to support refugees. Also, IOM can facilitate a variety of private loan programmes to defray the significant costs of international travel.
Medical evacuation provides for the admission of Syrian refugees with urgent medical needs that could be successfully treated in a third country. Around one quarter of Syrian refugees have serious medical conditions or disabilities that require treatment. Protection problems may arise as families must balance the costs of medical treatment against other essential needs such as food, rent,
and education. The resettlement of Syrians with serious medical conditions is a concrete measure of burden-sharing with host countries supporting refugees with medical needs requiring costly treatment and interventions. Refugees with medical needs may be admitted on resettlement or humanitarian admission programmes along with their families who are a key source of support.
Admission of relatives of Syrians already residing in a third country can facilitate the use of existing family reunification mechanisms through streamlined procedures or support in countries where the family members are located. This could include, for example, facilitated access to embassies, visa waivers, issuance of humanitarian visas,1 or assistance with documentation. Those who do not have the option of family reunification, either because they do not fulfil the requirements or are not included in the scope of existing family reunification legislation, could be admitted under other mechanisms such as humanitarian admission or private sponsorship. States that have provided opportunities for the admission of relatives beyond family reunification include: Austria, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland.
Humanitarian visas provide Syrians with a means of accessing a third country for the purpose of applying for asylum. Syrians may travel to a third country on a humanitarian visa and have their status converted to asylum-seeker or refugee upon arrival. They may also be provided with access to expedited asylum procedures. Brazil, for example, has provided humanitarian visas for more than 4,200 Syrian refugees; France has provided 1,142 asylum visas; and Argentina has also created a humanitarian visa programme for Syrians. Humanitarian visas may also be useful in the context of addressing family reunion requests for members of the extended family.
Academic scholarships provide a mechanism for Syrian refugee students, who would like to study or who have had their studies interrupted, to continue their education. Education initiatives can involve civil society, universities, and government actors working in collaboration to develop and fund academic scholarships. These programmes provide funding for travel, accommodation, subsistence, and tuition. They ensure that Syrian students are provided with proper travel documentation and study visas for the duration of their studies. They may also include language training, cultural orientation, and psychosocial

support for students. During or upon completion of these programmes, students have the right to apply for asylum or to request an extension of their residence permits. Examples of countries where academic scholarship programmes for Syrian students are being developed include Mexico, Portugal, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Labour mobility opportunities provide for the authorized onward movement of refugees from countries of asylum to third countries to pursue employment. Labour mobility can help refugees realize their human right to work recognized in many international and regional human rights instruments, as well as the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Access to employment is often a prerequisite for the reestablishment of a normal life, and it helps refugees to live in dignity, attain an adequate standard of living, apply their skills, and realize their potential. It also provides refugees with the possibility of making contributions to the development of their host as well as their home countries and communities.
KEY ELEMENTS OF AN ADMISSION PROGRAMME
The admission programmes detailed above should be provided for refugees registered in their country of asylum, either with the competent authorities or with UNHCR, as applicable. During the period of admission, States should ensure assistance and protection consistent with the central principles of international refugee protection:
ä They should guarantee non-refoulement, provide an appropriate legal status and documentation, and recognize the refugees’ fundamental civil rights and dignity as persons before the law.
ä They should also provide access to available basic services and psychosocial and medical support, as required, and facilitate the identification of adequate accommodation in a location that protects refugees’ well-being.
ä As refugees may face challenges in covering travel costs associated with some admission programmes, UNHCR also recommends establishing travel loans or other funding schemes, which can be based on existing models and implemented in cooperation with IOM.
From which States does UNHCR carry out resettlement and humanitarian admission?
These programmes are primarily implemented in States hosting the largest numbers of Syrian refugees, including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey.
Who can benefit from resettlement and humanitarian admission?
UNHCR is working closely with resettlement and humanitarian admission States to prioritize the most vulnerable, including women and girls at risk, children and adolescents at risk, refugees with legal or physical protection needs, survivors of violence or torture, refugees with medical needs or disabilities, refugees at risk due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, vulnerable older refugees, and refugees in need of family reunification.
Vulnerable refugees are identified through registration data and community outreach by UNHCR and its partners. UNHCR is enhancing its capacity to identify vulnerable refugees and to streamline procedures for referral. As the programmes continue to grow, additional personnel, equipment, and resources are being deployed.
How many refugees has UNHCR submitted for resettlement or humanitarian admission?
Since 2013, UNHCR has submitted more than 22,500 Syrian refugees for resettlement or humanitarian admission consideration. Nearly 7,000 Syrian refugees submitted by UNHCR have departed, and 99 per cent of the cases so far considered by resettlement and humanitarian admission States have been accepted.
UNHCR, in cooperation with resettlement and humanitarian admission States, has put in place streamlined procedures and capacity to meet the submissions goal for 2014, as well as to upscale submissions in 2015 and 2016. As a result, in 2014, the submissions rate increased from 1,000 per month in March to 3,000 per month as of September.
What steps have been taken to mobilize increased opportunities for admission?
CORE GROUP ON RESETTLEMENT OF SYRIAN REFUGEES
To pave the way for further State commitments, a Core Group on resettlement of Syrian refugees, comprised of 23 resettlement and humanitarian admission States, the European Union, the International Organization for Migration, and UNHCR, and chaired by Sweden, was established in 2013. The Core Group aims to: (1) secure increased opportunities for resettlement, acceptance rates, and flexible application of criteria; (2) increase cooperation and support for streamlined resettlement processes from identification to departure; and (3) foster dialogue with host States to demonstrate solidarity and support the resettlement and protection of refugees.
THE AKBAL FAMILY
“I´m going to get well and eat lots of crisps.” That is what young Yazan, 10 years of age, said to his father Muhammad Akbal. Yazan had problems with his kidneys and liver and
could not eat and drink like other children. The family left Syria during the war to get medical care for Yazan who received four expensive operations. Soon they were informed that they were selected for resettlement to Sweden.
Muhammad Akbal and Suzana Almawi have five children. Their sixth child, Yazan died after they fled Syria. On the 23 of September 2014, the family arrived in Gothenburg for a continued journey to Skövde, in the southwest part of Sweden.
“We want to give our remaining children the possibility of a good education. UNHCR said we could have both education and healthcare in Sweden,” says Muhammad Akbal.
The family lives in a house in the countryside. They have to walk three kilometers to the bus that takes them to Skövde where Muhammad and Suzana attend Swedish language classes, and the children go to school.
“I am glad to be here, but I have left my happiness with my youngest son who died,” says Suzana.
Since 2013, the Core Group has met in Switzerland, Sweden, Jordan, and Turkey. The Core Group has also conducted field visits to Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey to meet with the host Governments, UNHCR staff, and Syrian refugees. These visits aimed to familiarize the States with the operational contexts and refugee profiles, and to provide opportunities to liaise with the host Governments. The visits provided groundwork for facilitating increased resettlement and humanitarian admission opportunities for Syrian refugees.
The Core Group has been invaluable in garnering State cooperation, consensus, and support for enhanced and expedited resettlement procedures for Syrian refugees; sharing information and best practices; and mobilizing larger and longer-term commitments.
HOST STATES RESETTLEMENT WORKING GROUP
The Resettlement Working Group (RWG) is comprised of the Geneva-based Permanent Missions of the host States in the region, including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. The RWG has been meeting regularly with UNHCR in Geneva to exchange information and feedback on humanitarian admission and resettlement for Syrian refugees.
The host States all have welcomed the efforts to secure larger commitments for resettlement and other forms of admission, and have asked resettlement States to consider the complex environments in which they are operating when planning and implementing these programmes.
AHMED’S STORY
Ahmed led a comfortable and successful life in Syria, with his wife and six children. He owned a logistics company. Then came the war. When he was first kidnapped, Ahmed’s life began to unravel. He was detained for 11 months. He was released only to be kidnapped again - this time with a ransom attached. His family had fled from the Syrian Arab Republic, and he was forced to surrender all of his assets, including his house, land and his business.
“I was three years in suffering,” Ahmed said, “I felt like I was drowning in a bad sea.”
He said the idea of settling in Australia was appealing as his pre-settlement information suggested a nation with a standard of living comparable to his homeland. He thought Australia could provide a comfortable life again, like the one he had spent years building up before it was taken from him. Ahmed and his family have been in Australia for 11 months. He said everything was now going well for him.
“People have helped me. They have helped me find a temporary home,” he said. “We are now looking for a new home near a school.”
So far he has been supported with accommodation, food, and some financial assistance. “I am also learning English,” he said.
Ahmed has already had some medical support, with doctors identifying and treating a stomach condition. He described his life now as “the best ever”.
“It’s going very well. I have been treated very kindly,” he said. “I will be grateful until the day I die.”
Stripped of the business he built up, and without a trade or other qualification, he finds it a challenge to find work. He sees paths to employment as a priority for refugees in Australia.
“When you work, you can better assimilate and forget your worries,” he said.
For now, Ahmed is more focused on the future for his children in his new country.
“I can compare it to my home - before the war.”
