Latin America and the Caribbean remains a region that continues to offer meaningful opportunities to drive progress on protection and solutions for refugees, forcibly displaced and stateless people. Yet, to convert this potential into lasting impact, stronger support and sustained investment from the international community are pivotal to ensuring their rights, safety, stability, and long-term socio-economic integration.

The increasing number of returns in the region needs to be accompanied by strengthened reception and reintegration capacities in countries of origin. UNHCR works to ensure that those in need of international protection are properly identified and that returnees have access to legal, social and economic support to facilitate their sustainable reintegration, reducing the risk of renewed displacement.
