Vital component of the global refugee process (12)

I believe the answer is:

resettlement

(Other definitions for resettlement that I've seen before include "Repeated colonisation" , "Moving to live in a different place" , "migration" , "Process of changing one's permanent abode" , "Relocation" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
