UN, 11th Sep. 2007-UNHCR welcomes a decision by the Chilean government to receive 100 Palestinian refugees who had been living in Iraq, and who have been forced to live in destitute conditions on Iraq’s borders over the past few years.
The Palestinians are the first group of refugees from outside Latin America to benefit from the ‘solidarity resettlement programme’ under the Mexican Plan of Action. The Plan of Action was signed by 20 Latin American countries in 2004. It has so far mainly benefited Colombians.
