dc.description.abstract | This article discusses some of the normative bases for the recent (2020) Norwegian
policy prioritizing LGBTIQ+ refugees in refugee admissions. It argues that, when
properly interpreted, this policy is compatible with the UNHCR vulnerability
selection criteria but is not independently supported by it. Combined with some of
the broader moral principles guiding refugee admissions – including both state-based
and refugee-based reasons in refugee resettlement – the article provides qualified
support for the Norwegian policy of LGBTIQ+ refugee prioritization. Drawing from
some of the specifics of LGBTIQ+ refugee resettlement and integration, the article
nevertheless points to certain limitations of such a policy in so far as refugees’ own
agency is concerned. The article emphasizes the need to listen to refugees’ own voices
in the selection and resettlement processes, including cases where the default position
of LGBTIQ+ prioritization may be overridden by LGBTIQ+ persons’ own interests
in being resettled elsewhere. | en_US |
