UNHCR's observations on Danish proposal for new resettlement scheme

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted observations to the Danish government's proposed amendments to the Aliens Act, introducing a new resettlement system.

The amendments introduce a conditional quota scheme effective from 2018. Denmark's participation in UNHCR's resettlement program will be conditional on social and financial conditions, including the number of spontaneous asylum seekers and granted residence permits in the previous year, as well as how well foreigners are already integrated in Denmark.
