However, according to UNICEF, 60 percent of Indonesian children still have not received their birth certificate by the time they turned one year old, and children from impoverished families and those living in rural areas are much more likely not to have their births registered.82 Working Recognition of UNHCR-issued Registration IDs and Differentiation of Individuals with Protection Needs While UNHCR registration is often sufficient to prevent criminalization, the government of Malaysia does not recognize UNHCR-issued refugee ID cards as a valid form of legal identification. This prevents refugees from accessing banking services or any other services requiring a legallyrecognized ID. A persistent lack of legal status for recognized refugees means that refugee communities are forced to remain dependent on humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs and/or they may risk criminalization by engaging in unauthorized work to meet these needs. MALAYSIA Malaysia does not confine refugees registered with UNHCR to camps, and generally differentiates individuals with protection needs from non-protection-seeking foreign nationals on humanitarian grounds.83 As a result, possessing a UNHCR-issued registration document is typically sufficient to prevent an individual with protection needs from being held in administrative detention on irregular migration charges. Humanitarian Grants of Long-Term Visas to Individuals or Populations Fleeing Persecution Although India’s policy provides for the granting of long-term visas (LTVs) in “cases involving extreme compassion,” in practice, LTVs are predominately afforded to Bangladesh and Pakistan nationals who belong to minority religious groups (mostly Hindus). India’s LTV policy demonstrates that, where sufficient political will exists, the government has the means to provide meaningful access to rights and benefits for communities in need of protection. INDIA A 2011 policy on the granting of LTVs to individuals fleeing prosecution,84 which was expanded in 201885 to include members of religious minority groups from Bangladesh and Pakistan, provides an avenue for legal stay to refugees who have sought asylum in India, and also includes provisions to legalize the stay of individuals who had entered Indian territory irregularly. LTV holders are provided with a legal identification and status, which enables their access to health care, education, employment, banking, and other benefits and services. 22 UND OING PRECARIT Y: ELE VATING P OSITIVE PR ACTICES FOR REFU GEE PROTECTION IN SO U TH AND SO U THE AST ASIA
