"In the summer of 2010, the Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR) was invited to join the Refugee Council USA (RCUSA) in an NGO delegation to gather information about Colombian refugees. RCUSA was motivated by its recognition that the situation of Colombian refugees is arguably the most persistent humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere. Their aim for the delegation was to emphasize the urgent need to expand the protection space for Colombian refugees in countries of first asylum and the importance of increasing resettlement opportunities for the most vulnerable Colombian refugees."
