At each stage of the resettlement process, the presence of counsel - legal advocates - can help refugees to present their complete cases efficiently and avoid unnecessary rejections. This provides benefits to decision makers as well.

Resettlement (Forced Migration Review 54)

FMR 54 - The importance of legal counsel

This issue of FMR looks at some of the modalities and challenges of resettlement in order to shed light on debates such as how – and how well – resettlement is managed, whether it is a good use of the funds and energy it uses, and whether it is a good solution for refugees. It contains 33 articles on Resettlement, plus a mini-feature on Post-deportation risks and monitoring and four articles on other forced migration topics. The mini-feature on Post-deportation risks and monitoring is available as a stand-alone 12-page pdf but is not available in print; please feel free to print it yourself.
