{"situation_view_id":51,"situation_view_name":"Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific","situation_view_description":"UNHCR\u2019s operations in Asia and the Pacific encompass two of the world\u2019s largest forced displacement crises, involving large numbers of children without access to quality education, deep poverty, significant statelessness and an ever-present threat of gender-based violence. Access to territory, asylum, and protection remain challenges across the region, where only 20 of the 45 countries and territories have acceded to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and only three States are party to both statelessness conventions. The total number of refugees, people in refugee-like situations, stateless persons, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returnees (both refugees and IDPs) and others of concern to UNHCR in Asia and the Pacific by mid-2023 stood at 14.3 million. This includes 23 per cent of the world\u2019s refugees under UNHCR\u2019s mandate (7.2 million of 30.5 million) and 57 per cent of the world\u2019s recorded stateless population (2.5 million out of 4.4 million).\r\n\r\n\u201cUNHCR will focus on the search for solutions in the Asia and the Pacific region. Too many refugees, IDPs and stateless persons in and from the region have been facing precarious situations for too long, generously hosted by countries and communities who have received too little support. The Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Refugee Forum give us a unique opportunity to turn the tide. It is time to broaden responsibility for protecting the displaced and stateless in the region and express solidarity through practical measures that concretely improve their lives\u201d. Regional Director Indrika Ratwatte.","data":[{"date":"2025-06-30","month":1,"year":2022,"population_group_name":"Refugee returnees in the RBAP","population_groups_concat":"Refugee returnees in the RBAP","population_group_id":"5484","source":"Government, IOM, UNHCR","individuals":"875900","households":"0","population_groups":[{"id":5484,"name":"Refugee returnees in the RBAP","pop_accommodation_code":"V","pop_accommodation_name":"Unknown","pop_data_type_code":"EST","pop_data_type_name":"Estimated","pop_type_code":"RET","pop_type_name":"Refugee Returnees","pop_frequency_name":"Annual","pop_frequency_code":"A","pop_frequency_cumulative":"non-cumulative","pop_frequency_cumulative_code":"NC","pop_origin_name":null,"pop_origin_code":null}]}],"population_group_id":"5484","title_language_ar":"","title_language_en":"Refugee returnees in the Asia and the Pacific Region","title_language_es":"","title_language_fr":"","subtitle_language_ar":"","subtitle_language_en":"","subtitle_language_es":"","subtitle_language_fr":"","limit":"","color":"#009947","frequency":"day","chartType":"areaspline"}
