RSDWatch.org An independent source of information about the way the UN refugee agency decides refugee cases.
|
|
Every year in dozens of countries, the UN refugee agency, the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), decides the fate of more than 100,000 people seeking safety from persecution, especially in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa. UNHCR’s refugee status determination (RSD) procedures generally lack independent appeal, withhold evidence from applicants, and usually do not give specific reasons from rejection. Procedural fairness matters, because wrong decisions put people in danger of deportation, arrest, detention, violence, torture, and worse. This independent website collects information and stimulates discussion of this growing human rights challenge.
