Who is a Refugee?

No one becomes a refugee by choice. All kinds of people are refugees. Refugees are forced to flee from their country of origin due to fear for their lives and liberty. The United Nations defines a refugee as a person who ”owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.” This definition was established in the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees.

International Response to Refugees

The international community helps refugees find lasting, or durable solutions to refugee situations. Before considering a refugee for resettlement the visa officer will consider whether conditions have sufficiently changed in their Country of Origin to allow them to return in safety and with dignity. The second consideration would be whether local integration may be possible if their Country of Asylum grants them the right to work, attend school, and freely move about the country. Only if neither of the first two options is possible, will the refugee be considered for resettlement. Less than 1% of refugees are resettled internationally each year to a third country.
