Most Refugees In Europe (by country of origin)
Related Facts & Figures |
|
The majority of refugees in the World originate from African and Asian nations, and, according to the UNHCR, most refugees actually remain in the region which their country of origin is situated. This means that the major refugee generating regions - which are also the poorest regions on the planet - must provide resources to house massive numbers of desperate people, resources which they often cannot provide. In total, the UNHCR estimates that only 1.7 million refugees (from a total of over 15 million) live outside their region of origin. |

[1] "2009 Global Trends: Refugees, Asylum-seekers, Returnees, Internally Displaced and Stateless Persons" UNHCR REPORT - United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
UNHCR definition of 'Refugee': Persons recognized as refugees under the 1951 UN Convention/1967 Protocol, the 1969 OAU Convention, in accordance with the UNHCR Statute, persons granted a complementary form of protection and those granted temporary protection. In the absence of Government figures, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population in 24 industrialized countries based on 10 years of individual refugee recognition.
UNHCR definition of 'People In Refugee-Like Situation': This category is descriptive in nature and includes groups of persons who are outside their country or territory of origin and who face protection risks similar to those of refugees, but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained.
This complete dataset was published by UNHCR on June.15.2010 & last retrieved by BlatantWorld.com on November.10.2010. |
