Section 7. Harmonised approach for resettlement and humanitarian admission

Resettlement means the admission to the territory of a Member State, following a referral from UNHCR, of a third-country national or a stateless person from a third country to which that person has been displaced, who is eligible for admission pursuant to the Regulation (EU) 2024/1350 establishing the Union Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Framework, Article 5(1), does not fall under the grounds for refusal set out in Article 6 of that regulation and is granted international protection in accordance with Union and national law and has access to a durable solution.312 

Resettlement and humanitarian admission are an expression of international solidarity, involving several national and international stakeholders. Under the new Union Resettlement Framework, EU resettlement and humanitarian admission schemes are based on 2-year national pledges corresponding to the number of third-country nationals that Member States commit to admit on a voluntary basis. They aim to manage migration based on predictable timelines and ensure common grounds for eligibility, while carrying out rigorous security checks.
