Local Integration Resources

The latest addition to UNHCR's Legal and Protection Policy Research Series is "Rights of Refugees in the Context of Integration: Legal Standards and Recommendations" (June 2006). One of the three durable solutions for refugees, local integration is defined by the Master Glossary of Terms as involving the "permanent settlement [of refugees] in a country of first asylum, and eventually being granted nationality of that country."

For more information about local integration, see:
