Refugee Burden Sharing

Refugee burden sharing refers to the collective responsibility of countries to support and accommodate refugees who have fled their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or disaster. Instead of placing the entire burden on countries that are geographically close to the crisis, burden sharing encourages equitable distribution of refugees across nations. This can involve resettlement programs, financial aid, and resource-sharing to help integrate refugees into host communities. The goal is to ensure that all countries contribute fairly, alleviating the strain on specific nations and promoting a more humane and effective humanitarian response.
