Nepal - UNHCR Global Report 2009
Abstract:
The Office sought durable solutions for refugees in Nepal, notably through large-scale resettlement, while simultaneously ensuring adequate protection and assistance in the camps. Projects were initiated to improve local services for refugees and host communities. UNHCR also sought to provide international protection to all refugees and asylum-seekers, with particular attention to those with specific needs. The Office assisted Tibetans in transit through Nepal, worked to ensure their access to protection, and lobbied for greater legal integration for long-staying Tibetan refugees. UNHCR also continued with efforts to prevent and reduce statelessness, including working closely with the Constituent Assembly, the Government and civil society to ensure that the new Constitution meets international standards regarding equal, non-discriminatory and effective access to citizenship. #UN #UNHCR #GLOBAL_REPORT #REFUGEES_IN_NEPAL #2009

Nepal - UNHCR Global Report 2009
Abstract:
Nepal's peace process remained fragile in 2009. TheCommunist Party of Nepal (Maoists)-led Government resigned in early May 2009 and a coalition Government of all key political parties, except the Maoists, took office later that month. The international community and other key stakeholders continued to support Nepali efforts towards peace and development.Despite regular strikes called by different political parties and social groups, refugee camps were accessible to UNHCR and its implementing partners throughout the year. However, strikes posed difficulties in the distribution of food and non-food items (NFIs) to the camps.Nepal is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol, and it has no domestic refugee legislation. UNHCR continues to advocate for Nepal’s adoption of legal instruments to address asylum issues and accession to international refugee instruments.
