Europe's resettlement and other admission responses in a global perspective

This study from 2015 was published in the context of a worsening protection climate in the Middle East, underfunded UN programmes, and the situation in the Mediterranean. It features a comprehensive comparative overview of resettlement and other admission programmes operated by European countries. As per the findings of the study, around 55,000 places have been pledged by European countries, of which approximately one-third of these places are for resettlement, and two-thirds for other types of humanitarian admission.
