Asylum paradoxes and resettlement as a durable solution

Abstract

This research deals with the institute of asylum and durable solutions, in particular, the resettlement of refugees. The asylum was institutionalized in the 50s, but, nowadays, there are new factors that generate flows of people outside their countries of origin. Taking into account the non-specific situation of the asylum, durable solutions were created, namely, voluntary repatriation, local integration and resettlement. The solutions are, precisely, a way to continue the life of the refugee, regardless of where they are. Resettlement is the solution that deals with the most vulnerable refugees, as they flee their state and, also, the first host state. In order to analyze the non-punctual situation of the asylum and the role of resettlement, the deductive method is used, using bibliographic and documentary material. Resettlement is an important solution for refugees who are at risk in the host country and is a viable option when other solutions cannot be implemented, as can be seen in the program implemented in Latin America. However, the solution still presents long-term challenges.
