Description from Host: The International Forum on Complementary Pathways for Admission to Third Countries convenes professionals from all over the world to raise awareness and advocate for establishment and expansion of alternative channels through which refugees can find safety and durable solutions in countries beyond their country of asylum. These complementary routes directly contribute to equal responsibility-sharing and help meet three of the Global Compact on Refugees’ (GCR) objectives.
Objectives:
- Promoting the law, principles and policies related to the international protection of refugees;
- Raising awareness on the need for third country solutions for refugees by way of complementary pathways;
- Providing participants with key information on responsibility sharing, the Global Compact on Refugees and complementary pathways;
- Fostering a coordinated and collaborative approach to expand complementary pathways;
- Identifying stakeholders to support the creation of complementary pathways and advocate for their expansion;
- Facilitate sharing of best practices on expanding complementary pathways across different countries and stakeholders.
