5.1.3: Solutions

Achieve durable solutions to the plight of refugees and internally displaced persons.

Other Information:

For millions of refugees and internally displaced persons, our priority is to achieve durable solutions to their plight. There is no preferred solution, although the majority of displaced people may prefer to return home. The best solution must be determined according to the protection needs of the individual or family. Where peace has taken hold, we will facilitate the voluntary return and reintegration of people to their homes in safety and dignity. For those unable to return, we will encourage local integration in their host communities, where both communities and the displaced are willing. For refugees for whom resettlement to third countries is the appropriate durable solution, the United States will continue its tradition of welcoming them to begin new lives in communities across the country.
