Unit 7: Durable Solutions and Responsibility Sharing
7.1 Resettlement (Complementary Pathways)
The third-country solution (the selection-and-transfer): the UNHCR’s third-country-resettlement (the vulnerability-based selection (the protection-needs’ priority (the legal-and-physical-protection faces; the survivors-of-violence; the medical-needs; the family-links))); the program’s machinery (the quota-countries (the US-Canada-Australia-and-the-European faces); the submission-and-decision process); The Nepal case study (the world’s largest program): the Bhutanese resettlement (the 2007-start; the 100,000+ persons (the seven-camps’ depopulation (the voluntary-departure’s registration-and-counselling (the third-country-life’s establishment)))); the resettlement’s debate (the burden-sharing’s success vs the local-integration’s forgone (the solution’s politics)); The complementary pathways (the newer faces): the community-sponsorship (the Canadian-model’s face); the education-and-labour pathways (the scholarships-and-visas (the refugee-student-and-worker schemes)); the family-reunification’s pathway.
7.2 Repatriation
The home-return solution (the preferred ending (the 1951’s cessation logic (U3.4))): the voluntary-return principle (the voluntariness’s core (the free-and-informed decision (the coercion’s absence (the “voluntary” in the push-conditions problem)))); the safety-and-dignity (the return-conditions (the fundamental-change’s assessment)); The organised-return machinery (the UNHCR’s tripartite frame (the origin-host-UNHCR agreements (the assisted-return logistics (the package-and-transport))); the monitoring (the returnee-protection)); The Nepal-Bhutan failed-story (the exam’s case): the repatriation’s deadlock (the verification’s collapse (the 15-verse-100-percent disputes (the ministerial-joint-committee history)); the resettlement’s displacement-of-repatriation (the opt-for-resettlement reality (the “repatriation died” honest audit)); The spontaneous-return’s face (the unassisted return (the monitoring’s problem)).**
7.3 Local Integration
The host’s absorption (the permanence solution): the three-dimension test (the legal (the residence-and-citizenship path (the naturalisation’s facilitation (the 1951’s Art 34))); the economic (the self-reliance (the work-rights-and-livelihood (the U4.3’s ladder))); the social-and-cultural (the language-and-community absorption)); The resistance’s reality (the host-fatigue; the political-reluctance (the citizenship’s sensitivities)); The Nepal faces:
