The large majority of refugees are currently hosted by poorer countries in the world. In the 20th century, Europe was the scene of displacement but also of providing protection. In the past years, the numbers of refugees in Europe has drastically declined, in disproportion to the global level. Numbers of refugees vary significantly between different European countries. Overall, fewer refugees find access into Europe and access to effective protection.
Therefore, priorities will be:
- Defending asylum (including complementary protection)
Additional forms of refugee protection; including resettlement of refugees to Europe
Revising the need for protection (e.g. environmental refugees, internal displacement)
