The Asia region has suffered major humanitarian crises in 2010, with violence in southern Kyrgyzstan in June and torrential monsoon rains which caused the worst floods in Pakistan in 80 years. UNHCR has played a prominent role in delivering much-needed assistance and protection to the affected populations as part of the humanitarian community’s overall relief efforts. Mixed migratory movements continue to be a defining feature of the region, with some people moving in search of better livelihoods while others flee persecution or conflict. In an environment where States’ concerns about national security and bilateral relations take priority over refugee protection, UNHCR continues to advocate for the respect of asylum space.
