The principle of family reunification is a fundamental principle of refugee law that recognizes the importance of family unity and the right of refugees to be reunited with their immediate family members.

For the purpose of family reunification, immediate family members are defined as spouse and children.

In order to be eligible for family reunification, the refugee must be recognized as a refugee by the host country, have a valid travel document, and be able to support themselves and their family members financially.

Family reunification allows refugees to be reunited with their loved ones, helps them to integrate into their new country, and reduces the risk of them becoming stateless.

The challenges to family reunification include the cost of family reunification, the lack of political will to reunite families, and the security risks associated with family reunification.

UNHCR is responsible for coordinating family reunification efforts, providing financial assistance to refugees for family reunification, and advocating for the rights of refugees to family reunification.

Canada, the United States, and Australia are among the countries that have a family reunification policy.

The arguments against family reunification include that it is too expensive, it is a security risk, and it encourages illegal immigration.

The arguments in favor of family reunification include that it is a human right, it is in the best interests of the child, and it helps refugees to integrate into their new country.

The future of family reunification is uncertain. It is possible that it will become more restrictive, more generous, or remain the same.
