Iceland had 0.00021 UNHCR refugees per capita in 2013. same number for sweden was 0.0097 (almost 50x). I think its fair to say that iceland could take a bigger reponsibility internationally. As a small country they cant carry a major reponsibility (and remember that the biggest refugee countries are mostly neighbouring countries of conflicts: pakistan for example) but they could definitely do more.

Why do they have a "responsibility" in the first place? What about the responsibility of those responsible for the refugees, including Western countries fucking up the refugee countries (igniting conflicts, maintaining colonies and neo-colonial pals as leaders, putting diplomatic pressure, helping topple and de-stabilize those places, etc) to install their lackeys and grab their resources, to stop doing it?
