In the pursuit of a durable solution for some 100,400 Bhutanese refugees in Nepal, the Governments of Bhutan and Nepal held their tenth round of bilateral talks in Kathmandu in December 2000. During these talks the two Governments agreed upon a definition of the nuclear family unit to be used by a Joint Verification Team. The Team will classify population of the camps with a view to identifying those who may be considered eligible for return to Bhutan. The bilateral agreement so far precludes any formal role for UNHCR in the verification process, which began in March 2001. Further to the 11th Ministerial Joint Committee meeting held in Thimphu, Bhutan in August 2001, procedures have been simplified and the verification process has been slightly accelerated. The major objectives of UNHCR are to Facilitate the bilateral verification process being conducted byGovernments of Bhutan and Nepal and also to Protect and assist Bhutanese refugees until a lasting solution is found.
