A short presentation of the vetting challenge
Insufficient vetting creates problems in
resettlement cases:
• When the refugee and the host-nation are incompatible
• When the refugee has a hidden agenda
• When the host-nation lacks implementation tools or praxis
Problems with insufficient vetting because of
fraud or corruption:
• Genuine refugees are easily set aside
• Damages loyalty to and confidence in existing systems
• Makes the entire help chain vulnerable and weak
Insufficient vetting due to
political or religious discrepancies:
• Will probably cause all the above-mentioned problems
• Will influence the political motivation to provide funds
• A quick way to total system-collapse
