ANNEX TABLE 2 Notes The data are generally provided by Governments, based on their own definitions and methods of data collection. A dash (“-”) indicates that the value is zero, not available or not applicable. All data are provisional and subject to change. 1 Country or territory of origin. 2 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 many industrialized countries based on 10 years of individual asylum-seeker recognition. 3 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. 4 Persons whose application for asylum or refugee status is pending at any stage in the asylum procedure. Where cases have been reported with an average number of persons, the number of cases reported has been multiplied by this average and used to calculate the total number of asylumseekers. For reporting by country of origin, a mix of persons and cases was used as reported by the country of asylum because it is not known how this average multiplication factor is distributed by country of origin. 5 Refugees who have returned to their place of origin during 2016. Source: country of origin and asylum. 6 Persons who are displaced within their country and to whom UNHCR extends protection and/or assistance. It also includes people in IDP-like situations. This category is descriptive in nature and includes groups of persons who are inside their country of nationality or habitual residence and who face protection risks similar to those of IDPs but who, for practical or other reasons, could not be reported as such. 7 IDPs protected/assisted by UNHCR who have returned to their place of origin during 2016. 8 Refers to persons who are not considered as nationals by any State under the operation of its law. This category refers to persons who fall under the agency’s statelessness mandate because they are stateless according to this international definition, but data from some countries may also include persons with undetermined nationality. See Annex Table 7 at http://www. unhcr.org/statistics/16-WRD-table-7.xls for detailed notes. 9 Refers to individuals who do not necessarily fall directly into any of the other groups but to whom UNHCR may extend its protection and/or assistance services. These activities might be based on humanitarian or other special grounds. UNHCR > GLOBAL TRENDS 2016 10 UNHCR has recommended on 4 April 2014 to start the process of cessation of refugee status for refugees from Croatia displaced during the 1991-95 conflict. The Office suggests that cessation enters into effect latest by the end of 2017. 11 UNHCR’s assistance activities for IDPs in Cyprus ended in 1999. Visit the website of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) for further information. 12 Refugee figure for Iraqis in the Syrian Arab Republic was a Government estimate. UNHCR has registered and is assisting 16,900 Iraqis at the end of 2016. The refugee population in Jordan includes 33,100 Iraqis registered with UNHCR. The Government of Jordan estimated the number of Iraqis at 400,000 individuals at the end of March 2015. This includes refugees and other categories of Iraqis. 13 The refugee population in Bangladesh includes 243,000 persons in refugeelike situation from Myanmar. IDP figure in Myanmar includes 150,000 persons in an IDP-like situation. 14 Refers to Palestinian refugees under the UNHCR mandate only. 15 An unknown number of refugees and asylum-seekers from South Sudan may be included under Sudan (in absence of separate statistics for both countries). 16 Figures for refugees and asylum-seekers may include citizens of South Sudan (in absence of separate statistics for both countries). 17 IDP figure in Ukraine includes 800,000 people who are in an IDP-like situation. 18 A limited number of countries record refugee and asylum statistics by country of birth rather than country of origin. This affects the number of refugees reported as originating from the United States of America. 19 The 300,000 Vietnamese refugees are well integrated and in practice receive protection from the Government of China. 20 According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in the Tindouf camps.
