LONDON, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Henley & Partners announces an innovative partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and donates more than USD 1 million to help the global refugee cause. Henley & Partners, the global leaders in residence and citizenship planning for wealthy individuals and families, has announced the creation of an innovative partnership with the UN Refugee Agency to join forces in support of those at the other end of the spectrum of global mobility. Through a multi-year partnership Henley & Partners will support UNHCR's global refugee registration activities with a contribution of over USD 1 million and further advocate and assist UNHCR's resource mobilisation efforts in the interests of its people of concern.      (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150318/735598 ) The concept of residence and citizenship planning was created by Henley & Partners in the 1990s. As globalization has expanded, residence and citizenship have become topics of significant interest among the increasing number of internationally mobile entrepreneurs and investors. The freedom to move in between borders is today facilitated by a number of successful residence and citizenship programs offered by governments all over the world. "We work at the forefront of this sector and are in a unique position to advocate and facilitate Global Citizenship," says Christian H. Kalin, the Chairman of Henley & Partners. "It is only natural for us to acknowledge the plight of millions of uprooted families who flee each day the horror of war and conflict to look for international protection in other countries, and to join our forces with UNHCR". UNHCR was set up in 1951 to help the estimated 1 million people still uprooted after World War II to return home. Since then, they have helped find durable solutions for tens of millions of refugees through repatriation, local integration or in extreme cases of persecution or insecurity, resettlement. At the start of 2014, over 51.2 million people were uprooted worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or human rights violations. This staggering figure is the highest the world has registered at any point since the Second World War. Henley & Partners' support will be primarily focused on funding refugee registration and identification documents. UNHCR's Registration Program is in fact the starting point for all humanitarian assistance. Proper registration and documentation are key to allowing a refugee to access services, aid or protection under the law. Registration is also fundamental to identify those refugees who are most in need, such as female headed households, separated children and people with disabilities, and provide them with appropriate protection. UNHCR registration often provides the only form of documentation for these people. Sadly, this step is too generally perceived as an administrative process rather than as the gateway to protection and services in other countries, and rarely attracts donor funding. Beyond substantial financial support, Henley & Partners will also integrate advocacy actions for refugees in its corporate social responsibility program by organizing fundraising events and engaging its co-workers, partners and clients to help uprooted people around the world. The UNHCR Deputy High Commissioner, Alexander Aleinikoff, is expected to attend the Henley & Partners Forum in Zurich, Switzerland in May 2015, which will be the first of a long calendar of joint global activities to raise awareness about refugee challenges and solutions. A dedicated fundraising dinner for UNHCR will also be organized on 3 November 2015 in Dubai on the occasion of the Global Citizen Award launch at the Henley & Partners 9th Global Residence & Citizenship Conference, the world's leading event of its kind.

The newspaper said the Jersey-registered firm is due to begin processing its first applicants next month. It criticised Malta for offering a passport within months with a minimal requirement for individuals to be resident. But yesterday, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat announced further changes to the scheme, including the introduction of a requirement for residence status for one year. The changes were agreed with the European Commission. In spite of the changes, the newspaper said industry experts described the terms of the scheme, which also provided the right to visa-free travel to 69 non-EU countries, including the United States, as a “game changer”. The Independent said that the company’s Canadian chief executive Eric Major said Henley had received “hundreds” of expressions of interest. The scheme, it said, was "in stark contrast" to Malta’s attitude to less-moneyed visitors. "The EU’s smallest state was last year fined by the European Court of Human Rights after it was found that some of the thousands of migrants who land on its shores from North Africa were kept in conditions that amounted to inhuman or degrading treatment." The EU Observer also reported on the scheme saying the Maltese government introduced obligatory residence into the scheme under tremendous pressure from the European Commission. http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140130/local/henley-partners-to-make-at-least.504753 ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT People are being shifted around the planet for resettlement as if these people were merely packaged goods being dropped off at waiting warehouses. They're being dropped on inhabitants of societies that have nothing in common with the displaced they've been assigned, in what appears to be some global system of shifting money and people. Societies that don't even look after their own are presumably expected to assume responsibility for a tsunami of 51.2 million displaced as at 2014. People need to stand up and tell leeches and partners of warmongers to shove their 'global mobility' programs. _____________ What the hell is the Malta scheme?  What is this rort? Introduced in the first quarter of 2014, the Malta Individual Investor Programme (IIP) offers citizenship in a EU Member State that is stable, neutral and highly respected, tying in a solid investment and a lasting bond with the country. The program allows for the grant of citizenship to duly qualified, reputable foreign individuals and families (EU and non-EU nationals) who make a significant contribution to the economic development of Malta. The new Malta Individual Investor Programme (also referred to as the Malta Citizenship Programme) will be a good opportunity for investors to contribute to the local Maltese economy whilst at the same time benefiting from a citizenship in Malta. Successful candidates will be granted citizenship by a certificate of naturalization, which can also be extended to include their families and dependent. The Maltese authorities guarantee an efficient application process, and the world’s strictest due diligence standards and vetting of applicants, thus ensuring only highly respectable clients will be admitted. Benefits Successful candidates will be awarded Malta citizenship, which automatically includes EU citizenship, thus giving the right of establishment in all 28 EU countries and Switzerland. Other benefits include the ability to work and/or set up business in Malta and visa-free travel to more than 160 countries in the world, including the USA. http://franksalt.com.mt/buying-a-property/property-purchase-by-foreign-nationals/malta-citizenship-by-investment-programme/ I can't believe what I’m looking at.  Europe for sale, via f*cking Malta? Oh, but it doesn't just come with automatic EU citizenship ... there's another 160 countries that are open to buyers of European citizenship for sale, who wish to travel elsewhere without visas. This is criminal, from my perspective. #Migpol #Eupol Prime Minister Joseph Muscat #Malta selling citizenship & #EU access to foreigners, as Europe's pimp http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/57286/busuttil_demands_clarity_over_maltas_secret_migrant_deal_with_italy ꕤ
