But given the size of the tragedy in Syria there should be a good response from primed resettlement states, said William Lipsit, head of UNHCR’s resettlement hub covering the Middle East and North Africa. “I’m confident that if and when UNHCR makes the call states around the world will step up to the plate in a multilateral resettlement response that shares the responsibility with hosting countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey,” he added. *[name withheld] Resettlement Resettlement under the auspices of UNHCR involves the selection and 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.
«Sono ad ogni modo sicuro che se e quando l’UNHCR lancerà un appello, gli Stati si faranno avanti aderendo a un piano di reinsediamento multilaterale, che prevede una condivisione delle responsabilità con i paesi ospitanti quali la Giordania, il Libano o la Turchia».
