Original: Spanish The “Solidarity Resettlement” Programme The subregional consultations highlighted the importance of resettlement as an instrument of refugee protection, of solidarity with countries hosting large number of refugees, and of regional and international cooperation. Countries that participate in the “Solidarity Resettlement” programme, since it was launched as part of the Mexico Plan of Action, recommended conducting a joint evaluation to share experiences and good practices, and consolidate the programme in line with the region's current reality. Moreover, the participant countries encouraged other countries in the region to join the Programme. In order to energize and strengthen the “Solidarity Resettlement” programme, the following actions were proposed: (a) Jointly evaluate national resettlement programmes in order to identify obstacles and good practices during the selection and profiling phases and in the integration process. The evaluation will be conducted with the technical support and advice of UNHCR. The evaluation process should ideally be completed before the 2015 Annual Tripartite Consultations on Resettlement, where it will be presented. (b) Identify current and mid‐term priority situations that may require the support of the “Solidarity Resettlement” programme. In this respect, the following actions are proposed as expressions of solidarity and cooperation: i. Support the Republic of Ecuador as the country currently hosting the largest number of refugees in Latin American and the Caribbean. ii. Cooperate with the three countries of the Northern Triangle given their vulnerability to the activities of transnational organized crime. iii. Increase resettlement opportunities for refugees in the region. iv. Demonstrate solidarity with international humanitarian crises through either the use of humanitarian visas or resettlement quotas. (c) Consider the possibility of establishing a Transit Mechanism to process resettlement cases, with the aim of enabling the transfer in transit, for short periods of time, of persons recognized as refugees in the Caribbean and the Northern Triangle. UNHCR is requested to carry out consultations with interested Governments and, based on these consultations, to submit a proposal preferably before the 2015 Annual Tripartite Consultations on Resettlement. (d) Explore the possibility of establishing a voluntary Cooperation Fund to strengthen the “Solidarity Resettlement” programme with contributions from the international community, including from Latin American and Caribbean States. UNHCR is requested to carry out consultations with interested Governments and, based on these consultations, to submit a proposal preferably before the 2015 Annual Tripartite Consultations on Resettlement. The “Labour Mobility” Programme As part of a comprehensive durable solutions strategy, the MERCOSUR subregional consultation discussed the possibility for refugees to benefit from existing migration options under regional integration frameworks, as a novel mechanism of cooperation and regional solidarity. It is proposed to establish a “Labour Mobility” programme to facilitate the free movement of refugees to third countries where they can have access to gainful employment and achieve economic self‐sufficiency, whose actions could be the following: 13
