A safe country of origin, defined within the Geneva Convention, is free from international or internal armed conflict. One that does not persecute, use the threat of violence or torture its citizens, whether temporarily or permanently. Furthermore, it neither endorses nor implements inhuman, degrading treatments or punishments. Lastly, it operates a democratic system, and the general political environment allows for civil freedoms. Each country implements its own definition of what makes a safe country, and all countries do not use one list

REFUGEE CAMPS & SETTLEMENTS

The temporary and semi-permanent

Camps and Settlements

A refugee camp or settlement is typically a temporary structure or facility. These interim measures are implemented to house all displaced individuals, whether due to conflict, persecution, or escaping violence. The camps or settlements provide immediate assistance and protection for all those affected. At the same time, it allows aid and government agencies to establish more permanent and long-term accommodation solutions.
