The Directorate of Immigration may authorise groups of refugees to enter Iceland on a proposal from the Icelandic Refugee Board, cf. art. 9, and in cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The same applies to groups of foreign nationals who have not been deemed to be refugees, but come from a country where armed conflict is taking place or from a region of natural disaster, and fulfil conditions laid down by the authorities at any time.
