Providing Refugees With the Opportunity of a New Life

Resettlement to third countries allows vulnerable refugees to move away from dangerous situations and start rebuilding their lives. Other admission pathways such as humanitarian corridors achieve the same goal. ICMC advocates for more and better resettlement and complementary admission pathways. Our experts support UN agencies, governments and humanitarian organizations resettling refugees. We also work with civil society organizations engaged in community-based refugee sponsorship.

Resettling Refugees to the United States
Since the 1980s, ICMC has provided support to the United States government in the resettlement of refugees through its Resettlement Support Center for Turkey and Middle East, based in Istanbul and Beirut. Its staff process applications of refugees referred by the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, for resettlement within the framework of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. The Center provides a range of services including case management, cultural orientation and coordination of medical exams.
