In June 2024, UNHCR proposed a \u201c<\/span>routes-based approach<\/span><\/a>\u201d to advance protection and solutions. This new approach is potentially a paradigm shift in humanitarian responses to migration because of how it restructures protection support from a siloed country-based to integrated routes-based programming. According to UNHCR, the approach offers \u201crights-based alternatives to externalization proposals and expulsion practices, while helping States to manage the challenges around irregular movements, including return, in line with their international obligations.\u201d A stated goal is to better manage \u201cmixed flows\u201d by helping to alleviate global North asylum systems while encouraging expansion of legal pathways for migrants. A related goal is to reduce the threat and harm occurring along the routes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>While a whole-of-route approach is a step forward in the coordination of multilateral and multistakeholder responses to increased mixed flows towards the Global North, it also raises important questions from a Global South perspective.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This webinar will explore these perspectives by fostering a discussion between UNHCR and three IDRC Research Chairs based in two regions of the Global South most implicated in the development and implementation of this new approach: Latin America and North Africa.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The webinar will consider a series of related questions:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
