Moving beyond long-term refugee situations: the case of Guatemala

The objective of the report is to present refugees as individuals, with individual needs, rather than as a homogeneous population. It emphasizes that the most effective means of empowering refugees is to provide them with the opportunity to make informed choices. The responsibility then falls on home governments, host governments, and the international community to ensure that these choices are available to refugees. Thus, this report focuses on how can UNHCR support durable solutions for refugees and how does UNHCR prevent protracted refugee situations from developing in the first place.
