Sumario:In recent years, refugee resettlement in Latin America has been generally based upon a particular form of resettlement known as "Solidarity Resettlement" which was envisaged within the XX Anniversary of the Cartagena Declaration's 2004 Mexico Plan of Action (MPA). However, more recently, countries of the Southern Cone, in particular, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, have begun to shift away from the concept of Solidarity Resettlement, and have begun exploring other, possibly more sustainable models, including private sponsorship. This paper provides a brief overview of the various resettlement programs in the region, with a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. While to date the programs have remained comparatively small in scale, significant opportunities remain for expansion in the years ahead. Fundamental to the success of any program will be ensuring proper coordination structures are in place (including support to integration and cultural orientation), along with allocating sufficient funding for the term of the program, without which, challenges may be expected to arise.
