Description
Belize’s Third Safe Country agreement with the United States is no longer just a policy on paper. The first asylum seeker has arrived under the arrangement, a Haitian national who will now begin the process of settling into Belizean society. While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is leading the agreement, Immigration Minister Kareem Musa says his ministry has an important role to play in helping these individuals integrate once they are here. Today, Musa shared an update on Belize’s first case under the agreement.
