		<description><![CDATA[The largest UNHCR refugee status determination operation in the world is in Malaysia, where more than 25,000 people applied for recognition of refugee status in 2010. But that may actually be a substantial undercount of the real number of asylum-seekers in Malaysia who might like to apply. A footnote in a statistical annex of UNHCR&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rsdwatch.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12372369&amp;post=1041&amp;subd=rsdwatch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Refugee status applications to UNHCR offices worldwide declined to 96,800 in 2010, after topping 114,000 in 2009. The decline roughly followed a global trend, with applications to government-run RSD systems also dropping in 2010. UNHCR accounted for around 11 percent of all RSD applications worldwide, down from 13 percent in 2009. But UNHCR continues to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rsdwatch.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12372369&amp;post=1025&amp;subd=rsdwatch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In a 6-1 ruling issued 1 September, the court halted the scheme by which Australia would have sent asylum-seekers to Malaysia to have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rsdwatch.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12372369&amp;post=1020&amp;subd=rsdwatch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UNHCR&#8217;s office in Cairo now gives asylum-seekers rejected in refugees status determination an explanation in writing, answering a decade-old call from human rights organizations. Providing written individualized reasons for rejection has been a longstanding demand from advocates seeking due process reforms in UNHCR RSD.

		<description><![CDATA[The Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network issued a statement criticizing the recent agreement that would send 800 asylum-seekers from Australia to Malaysia. APRRN argued that because Malaysia has  poor record of protecting refugee rights, the transfer would violate Australia&#8217;s obligations to protect refugees. APRRN also argued that UNHCR&#8217;s refugee status determination procedures in Malaysia have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rsdwatch.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12372369&amp;post=1005&amp;subd=rsdwatch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
