2005 Global Refugee Trends
UNHCR Geneva, 9 June 2006
Introduction
1. This report summarizes changes in global trends and levels of the population of concern to
UNHCR: refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced persons, stateless persons, and others of
concern. The data, reported by UNHCR country offices, generally reflect the view of the host country.
The statistics contained in this note should be considered provisional and subject to change.
2. This note provides only the main global trends of UNHCR’s population of concern and does not
make specific reference to mixed migration flows. Despite the humanitarian challenge and prominent
media coverage posed by this phenomenon, most migrants do not claim asylum and are thus not
included in UNHCR statistics.1
3. The total population of concern to UNHCR2 increased from 19.5 million persons at the beginning
of 2005 to 20.8 million by the end of 2005 (+6%)3. Refugees constitute 40 per cent of the total
population of concern to UNHCR, down from 49 per cent at the start of 2005. Internally displaced
persons (IDPs) protected or assisted by UNHCR are the second largest group under the Office’s
mandate accounting for 32 per cent, followed by stateless persons4 with 11 per cent. The total
population of concern to UNHCR, however, is not totally reflected in these figures, either because a
significant number of stateless people have not been systematically identified, or statistical data is
unavailable despite renewed efforts on the part of UNHCR.5

For detailed statistics on 2005 (and previous years), see http://www.unhcr.org/statistics.
Include: Refugees, asylum-seekers, returnees (refugees who have returned during 2005), internally displaced persons
(IDPs), returned IDPs (IDPs who have returned to their place of habitual residence during 2005), stateless persons, and others
of concern not falling under any of the categories above.

The Afghan refugee population in Pakistan at the end of 2004 was retroactively revised from 960,000 to 1.3 million
following a 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan. As a result, the total population of concern to UNHCR at the
end of 2004 increased from 19.2 to 19.5 million.
4
Stateless refugees and stateless asylum-seekers are excluded from the category stateless persons but reflected in the
categories refugees (stateless refugees) and asylum-seekers (stateless asylum-seekers).

Population (mln.)
4. During the period 1997-2001, refugees constituted the largest group (55-61%) among all
populations considered as of concern to the Office. In other words, roughly six out of ten persons were
refugees. The recent years, however, have witnessed a gradual downward trend in the number of
refugees worldwide while simultaneously seeing an upward trend in the overall population of concern.
As a consequence, the proportion of refugees among the total population of concern started to decline,
reaching its lowest level at the end of 2005 with
only four out of ten persons being refugees. While
Population of concern to UNHCR,
in absolute and relative terms still the largest
1997-2005 (end-year)
group under the Office’s mandate, the current
24
trend indicates that in future possibly only three
20
(or less) out of ten persons will be a refugee. This
16
scenario looks particularly likely, taking into
12
account the expectation that UNHCR’s

involvement with internally displaced persons will

expand in the coming years.

remained the country hosting the largest
population of concern to UNHCR by the end of
2005. The entire population is almost exclusively comprised of internally displaced persons. Iraq is the
second largest host country with some 1.6 million persons of concern, followed by Pakistan (1.1
million)6, Sudan (1.0 million) and Afghanistan (912,000).
6. At the end of the year, Afghans constituted the largest group among UNHCR’s total population of
concern with some 2.9 million. Colombians were the second largest group (2.5 million), followed by
Iraqis (1.8 million), Sudanese (1.6 million) and Somalis (839,000). These five nationalities alone
accounted for 9.6 million or almost half (46%) of all populations considered as of concern to UNHCR
at the end of 2005.
Refugee population
7. By the end of 2005, the global number of refugees
reached an estimated 8.4 million persons7, the lowest
level since 1980. This constitutes a net decrease of
more than one million refugees (-12%) since the
beginning of 2005, when 9.5 million refugees were
recorded. This is the fifth consecutive year in which
the global refugee population has dropped and the
second sharpest decrease since 2001. Over the fiveyear period, the global refugee population has fallen
by one third (-31%). Decreases in the refugee
population are often the result of refugees having
access to durable solutions, in particular voluntary
repatriation.

8. About half (52%) of all refugees benefit from UNHCR assistance programmes, with the vast
majority of them being located in developing countries, i.e. countries covered by the UNHCR Bureaux
for CASWANAME8 (47%) and for Africa (41%). The number of refugees directly assisted by or
through UNHCR fell by 907,000 persons (-17%) to 4.4 million refugees by the end of the year.
6
UNHCR refugee figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a
2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, there are an additional
1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no
UNHCR assistance except access to UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.
7
In addition, some 4.3 million Palestinian refugees fall under the responsibility of the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). These refugees are not included in UNHCR statistics.

9. Virtually all regions reported a decrease in the refugee population during 2005 with the largest
reductions being recorded in West Africa and CASWANAME (-19% each), followed by Europe
(-15%). The only region experiencing a marginal increase was East and Horn of Africa (+0.2%). (See
Box 1). Despite of the decreases, Africa and CASWANAME each hosted one third of the global
refugee population at the end of 2005. Europe hosted about one quarter (23%) of all refugees,
followed by Asia and the Pacific (10%), and the Americas (7%).
10. In 2005, Pakistan continued to be the main asylum country followed by the Islamic Republic of
Iran.9 By the end of the year, both countries together hosted one out of five (21%) of the world’s
refugees.10 Both, however, experienced a 16 and

due to an improved registration system providing 0.6

asylum countries despite experiencing decreases *UNHCR estimate
of nine and six per cent respectively during 2005.
Among the top-10 asylum countries, only Chad (+15,500 refugees) and Kenya (+11,400 refugees) saw
a significant net increase during 2005.
11. Afghanistan continues to be by far the largest country of origin of refugees under the Office’s
mandate. At the end of 2005, 1.9 million Afghan refugees were reported by 72 asylum countries,
constituting 23 per cent of the global refugee population. Nevertheless, due to continued repatriation,
the number of Afghan refugees dropped by 21 per cent during the year.
12. Other major countries of origins of refugees experiencing important decreases during 2005 were
Burundi (-10%), Iraq (-16%), Liberia (-31%), and Serbia and Montenegro (-21%). The strong fall in
the Burundian, Iraqi and Liberian refugee populations is primarily the result of voluntary repatriation
movements whereas the sharp decrease in the refugee population from Serbia and Montenegro
primarily reflects the changed methodology for estimating the number of refugees in Germany.11
Significant decreases in the refugee population, often as a result of durable solutions or revised refugee
estimates following registration exercises were also recorded for refugees originating from Bosnia and
Herzegovina (-119,000), Croatia (-96,000), Western Sahara (-75,000) and Sudan (-38,000).
13. Nevertheless, some refugee nationalities recorded an increase in the population during 2005. The
number of Togolese refugees quadrupled, from 11,200 at the start of the year to 51,100 at the end of
the year, due to mass outflows, mainly to Benin and Ghana. The number of refugees from Rwanda
increased by 37,000 (+12%), primarily due to a revised population estimate in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo while the number of Eritrean refugees increased by more than 12,000 (+9%).

With the introduction of the new Immigration Act in 2005, the Central Aliens Register now encompasses new residence
categories and simultaneously refines previous ones, allowing for a better differentiation of refugee statistics. The refugee
data included in this note refers to 15 December 2005.
12
UNHCR’s method of estimating the refugee population in the United States is currently under review due to newly
available information. As a result, the estimated refugee population in the country might increase significantly as of 2006.

Refugee arrivals
14. Refugees escaping war often move in large groups and flee the same conditions during the same
time frame. By being part of the same group, these persons are often accorded refugee status as a
group, i.e. on a prima facie basis. During 2005, a total of 136,000 prima facie refugee arrivals were
reported by 19 asylum countries. The level of new outflows in 2005, however, was the lowest since
1976 when 113,700 persons fled their country in a mass outflow. As such, the 2005 level was also
significantly lower compared to 2004 (-46%) and 2003 (-59%).
15. Ten asylum countries reported the arrival of more than 1,000 prima facie refugees during 2005,
including Chad (32,400), Benin (25,500), Uganda (24,000), Ghana (13,600) and Yemen (13,200).
16. There were six countries of origin which produced more than 10,000 prima facie refugees in
2005: Togo (39,100), Sudan (34,500), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (15,600), Somalia
(13,600), the Central African Republic (11,500) and Iraq (10,500).
Voluntary repatriation
17. Based on consolidated reports from countries of asylum (departure) and origin (arrival), it is
estimated that some 1.1 million refugees repatriated voluntarily to their country of origin during 2005.
In all, there were a total of 15 voluntary repatriation movements involving more than 1,000 refugees.

18. The main countries of origin to which refugees
returned during 2005 included Afghanistan
(752,100), Liberia (70,300), Burundi (68,300), Iraq
(56,200) and Angola (53,800).
19. The past four years saw an almost unprecedented
level of voluntary repatriation, mainly due to the
return of more than 4.6 million Afghans from
Pakistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Globally,
more than six million refugees were able to return
home during 2002-2005, of which 4.6 million with
UNHCR assistance.
20. For statistical purposes, only refugees who have repatriated during the calendar year are included
in the population of concern to UNHCR. In practice, however, operations may assist returnees for
longer periods. This is for instance the case for Angola where, since the signing of the peace accord in
2002, more than 364,000 Angolan refugees have returned home, many of them benefiting from
UNHCR reintegration activities.
Resettlement
21. In 2005, some 30,500 refugees were resettled
from their previous asylum countries with
UNHCR assistance, virtually the same level as
during 2004. The main nationalities benefiting
from UNHCR-facilitated resettlement were
refugees from Somalia (5,900), Liberia (4,700),
Sudan (3,200), Afghanistan (3,200) and Myanmar
(2,900).
22. Some 83 UNHCR country offices were
engaged in facilitating resettlement departures
during 2005, fifteen more than in 2004. The

largest number of refugees resettled with UNHCR assistance departed from Kenya (6,800), Thailand
(2,500), Guinea (1,900), Ghana (1,800) and Egypt (1,300).
23. During 2005, a total of 16 countries reported the admission of resettled refugees, including the
United States (53,800 during the US Fiscal Year)13, Australia (11,700), Canada (10,400), Sweden
(1,300), Finland (770) and Norway (750).
Local integration
24. Local integration, an important durable solution to the plight of refugees, is a legal, economic,
socio-economic and political process. In some countries, refugees have the opportunity to integrate
locally because the host country has provided them with access to land or the labour market, while in
others they remain confined to camps where they depend on assistance from the international
community. Using UNHCR beneficiary statistics, it is possible to determine the degree to which
refugees depend on the international community for their survival. Industrialized countries, where
assistance is usually provided by the host country, are generally not included in these statistics.
25. By the end of 2005, 69 per cent of the estimated 6.1 million refugees hosted by developing
countries had access to assistance provided by or through UNHCR. On a global scale, the proportion
has remained fairly stable over the past five years ranging from 66 to 72 per cent. However, the
proportion of refugees benefiting from international assistance varies greatly from one country to
another, reflecting the different opportunities provided to refugees by the host country for local
integration and self-reliance. Major asylum countries where less than 75 per cent of the refugee
population depends on international aid include the United Republic of Tanzania (64%), Sudan (51%),
Zambia (48%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (8%), India (8%) and Armenia (5%).
26. Acquiring the citizenship of the country of asylum is the final and crucial step towards obtaining
the full protection of the host country. However, national laws do not always permit refugees to get
naturalized. Moreover, statistical data on the provision of citizenship to refugees is available on a
limited scale only, and is thus under-reported. During 2005, UNHCR was informed about significant
numbers of refugees being granted citizenship by the host country in the United States (58,900; during
January-September 2005 only), Kyrgyzstan (3,400), Armenia (2,300), Belgium (2,300), Mexico
(1,200) and Ireland (580).

facie basis, whereas about one quarter (24%) has been granted refugee status following individual

determination. A large majority of refugees having been accorded prima facie refugee status reside in
Africa (80%), CASWANAME (86%), and Asia and Pacific (85%), which is in sharp contrast to
Europe (26%) and the Americas (0.4%), where most refugees have been granted refugee status
following individual determination. These regional differences in recognition can in part be explained
by the existing legal framework as well as by the level of economic development (individual refugee
status determination is resource intensive).
Sex and age
29. Demographic information on UNHCR’s population of concern is not available for all countries. In
fact, at the end of 2005, data by sex was available for
roughly half of the population (10.9 million out of
Dem ographic characteristics available on
UNHCR's Total population of concern
20.8 million) while information on the age breakdown
(M ln.)
for about one quarter (5.6 million persons). The
25
availability of information is particularly limited for
20
industrialized countries in Europe, North America and
15
Oceania and tends to be high in countries where
UNHCR has an operational role.

30. The breakdown by sex available for the 10.9
million persons of concern to UNHCR indicates that

roughly half of them are female (49%). The
Pop. of concern
Sex available
Age available
proportion of female refugees varies greatly,
depending on the nature of the refugee situation, the
region of asylum, age, etc. For instance, in countries with mass refugee situations, the proportion of
female refugees tends to be around 50 per cent. The percentage of females among asylum-seekers,
however, is significantly lower both in developing as well as developed countries. Moreover, women
are over-represented in the older age category (60 and over).
0
31. Information on the age breakdown of UNHCR’s population of concern is available for some 5.6
million persons. The data indicates that some 44 per cent are children under the age of 18, whereas 12
per cent are under the age of five. Half of them (50%) are aged between 18 and 59, whereas six per
cent are 60 years old or more. As highlighted above, considering that most demographic data are
available on refugees, asylum-seekers and others of concern living in developing countries, these
figures are not fully representative for the entire population under the Office’s mandate.
32. In Africa and in the CASWANAME region, half or more than half of the refugees are under the
age of 18. The proportion of refugee children is significantly lower in Asia and the Pacific (35%),
Europe (23%) and the Americas (24%).
Asylum-seekers
33. During 2005, a total number of 668,000 first instance or appeal applications for asylum or refugee
status were submitted to Governments or UNHCR offices in 149 countries. The number of
applications during 2005 decreased by two per cent compared to 2004 where 680,000 applications
were lodged globally. Most claims were registered in Europe (374,000), followed by countries covered
by the Africa Bureau (125,000), Asia and the Pacific (75,000), the Americas (72,000), and
CASWANAME (22,000).14

34. Countries receiving the largest number of new asylum claims during 2005 were France (49,700),
the United States (48,900)15, Thailand (47,300)16, Kenya (39,000), the United Kingdom (30,500) and
Germany (28,900).
Applications submitted
35. The highest numbers of new and appeal asylum claims were filed by nationals from Myanmar
(55,800), Somalia (36,200), Serbia and Montenegro (30,300), the Russian Federation (27,900), the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (25,400) and China (23,100). The number of asylum-seekers from
Myanmar, however, was concentrated in two
countries only: in Thailand where a

36. In Europe, 51,400 asylum-seekers were

1951 Convention in 2005 and another 37,800 a
complementary
form
of
protection
(humanitarian status, subsidiary protection etc). Both figures were slightly above the 2004 level where
the corresponding figures amounted to 48,800 and 34,300 respectively. Africa was the second largest
region in terms of the number of asylum-seekers being recognized in 2005 (48,400), followed by the
Americas (35,500), Asia and the Pacific (30,200), and CASWANAME (3,500).
37. The number of asylum claims which have not yet been adjudicated (“pending cases”), both at the
first instance and on appeal, has decreased gradually over the past few years, reaching an estimated
773,500 by the end of 2005, the lowest level in at least a decade. In fact, the number of asylum-seekers
waiting for a decision globally has gone down by 29 per cent since 2002. A fall in the backlog of
asylum cases might indicate that asylum procedures have become more efficient. In addition, a drop in
the backlog can also coincide with a decrease in the number of new asylum applications submitted, a
situation currently experienced by many industrialized countries in Europe and North America.
38. At the end of 2005, the largest number of undecided cases at the first instance and on appeal was
reported by the United States (169,700), South Africa (140,100), Germany (71,600), Austria (40,700),
Thailand (32,200) and Canada (20,600). Many countries were able to reduce the number of undecided
cases during 2005, including the United States (-93,000), Germany (-29,200), the Netherlands
(-13,800) and Sweden (-12,300). The strong reduction of backlog cases in the United States refers by
large to asylum-seekers from El Salvador (-44,400) and Guatemala (-25,600) whose applications were
closed for administrative reasons during 2005. Increases in the backlog on the other hand were
reported by South Africa (+24,900), Thailand (+31,100), Burundi (+9,200) and Jordan (+5,500).
Internally Displaced Persons
39. At the end of 2005, UNHCR country offices reported 6.6 million internally displaced persons in
16 countries compared to 5.4 million IDPs in 13 countries one year earlier (+22%). This increase
primarily reflects the newly reported IDP situations in Iraq (1.2 million) and Somalia (400,000).

The high number of asylum claims in Thailand reflects primarily the regularization of nationals from Myanmar residing in
camps in Thailand.

from 662,000 to 842,000 during 2005. With
UNHCR’s role expanding in protecting and

UNHCR offices will increase substantially in the future. As such, the available data supports this trend
and confirms that the share of IDPs among the total population of concern has reached its highest level
in at least a decade.
Stateless Persons
41. In addition to refugees, UNHCR has been tasked by the United Nations General Assembly
through various resolutions to contribute to the prevention and reduction of statelessness and further
protect stateless persons. In particular, UNHCR has been asked by the United Nations General
Assembly to regularly inform the international community on the magnitude of the problem of
statelessness.18
42. In March 2004, UNHCR published an analysis of the replies made by 74 States to a
questionnaire19 on the steps taken by States to reduce statelessness and to meet the protection needs of
stateless persons. One finding of the survey is that many States referred to the difficulty of identifying
stateless persons.
43. Giving due importance to the identification and reduction of statelessness, UNHCR has expanded
its data collection mechanism in 2004 aiming at the more systematic identification of stateless persons
and in 2005 published its first results. As such, UNHCR was able to identify 30 countries hosting
stateless populations and covering an estimated 1.5 million persons at 31 December 2004.
44. Although UNHCR is currently not in a position to provide reliable statistics on the global number
of stateless persons, which is estimated to be at least 11 million persons, it has included countries with
reliable official statistics, countries where estimates of stateless populations exist, as well as some
countries where UNHCR is aware of significant stateless populations but where no reliable figures
could be identified (see Table 15). By the end of 2005, UNHCR is reporting on the existence of
stateless populations in 62 countries. For the 47 countries where data is available at the end of the
year, the total number was estimated to be 2.4 million. As UNHCR is further expanding its data
collection mechanism relating to stateless populations, it is expected that data coverage will gradually
increase over time. The level of rights granted to the listed stateless populations varies considerably
from one State to another, with some States granting almost identical rights to those of their own
citizens, others granting the legal status provided by the 1954 Convention on the status of stateless
persons, and yet other situations where stateless persons do not have access to basic rights.
17
The Government estimates that there are between 2.5 and 3.0 million IDPs in the country, out of which 1.8 million are
registered. According to NGOs, the figure might be up to 3.3 million IDPs.

Others of concern
45. The total number of “Others of concern” to UNHCR, that is, populations not falling within the
mandate of UNHCR but to whom the Office extends protection and/or assistance, increased from
606,100 at the beginning of the year to 960,400 at the end of the year (+58%). This increase primarily
reflects the newly included persons of concern from Colombia in Ecuador (250,000) and Venezuela
(an increased estimate from 26,400 to 200,000). These persons have not formally applied for asylum
for various reasons, including security concerns, despite being in need of international protection. As
indicated above, stateless persons are no longer included in the category “Others of concern”.
Therefore, the statistics reported on 2004 cannot be directly compared to the 2005 data.

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.
1
UNHCR region and country or territory of asylum or residence. In the absence of Government figures, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population in many
industrialized countries, based on recent refugee arrivals and recognition of asylum-seekers. For Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, estimates
are based on arrivals/recognition during the past five years, whereas for most European countries a 10-year period has been applied. These periods reflect the
different naturalization rates for refugees.
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.
3
Persons whose application for asylum or refugee status is pending at any stage in the procedure.
4
Refugees who have returned to their place of origin during the calendar year. Source: Country of origin and country of asylum.
5
Persons who are displaced within their country and to whom UNHCR extends protection and/or assistance.
6
IDPs of concern to UNHCR who have returned to their place of origin during the calendar year.
7
Persons who are not considered nationals by any country under the operation of its laws. See Table 15 for further details.
8
Persons of concern to UNHCR not included in the previous columns. See Table 16 for further details.
9
According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
10
2004 data for Costa Rica (asylum-seekers) and the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (refugees and asylum-seekers).
11
UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and
subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans
living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.
12
UNHCR’s method of estimating the refugee population in the United States is currently under review due to newly available information. As a result, the estimated
refugee population in the country might increase significantly as of 2006.
13
With the introduction of the new Immigration Act in 2005, the Central Aliens Register now encompasses new residence categories and simultaneously refines
previous ones, allowing for a better differentiation of refugee statistics. The refugee data included in this table refers to 15 December 2005.

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.
1
Persons recognized as refugees under the 1951 UN Convention/1967 Protocol, the 1969 OAU Convention, in accordance with the UNHCR Statute, persons grante
a complementary form of protection and those granted temporary protection.
2
Persons whose application for asylum or refugee status is pending at any stage in the procedure.
3
Refugees who have returned to their place of origin during the calendar year. Source: Country of origin and country of asylum.
4
Persons who are displaced within their country and to whom UNHCR extends protection and/or assistance.
5
IDPs of concern to UNHCR who have returned to their place of origin during the calendar year.
6

8
UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and
subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans
living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.
9
This figure only refers to Palestinians under the UNHCR mandate.
10
According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
Table 3. Refugee population and changes by country/territory of asylum, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births
and deaths. In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact
that the voluntary repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often unknown.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

Table 3. Refugee population and changes by country/territory of asylum, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births
and deaths. In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact
that the voluntary repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often unknown.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

Table 3. Refugee population and changes by country/territory of asylum, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births
and deaths. In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact
that the voluntary repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often unknown.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.

Data refers to 31 December 2004 (no updated data available).
3
UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation during
the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to UNHCRfacilitated voluntary repatriation.
4
UNHCR’s method of estimating the refugee population in the United States is currently under review due to newly available information. As a result, the estimated refugee population in the country might
increase significantly as of 2006. Naturalization figure refers to January-September 2005.
5
With the introduction of the new Immigration Act in 2005, the Central Aliens Register now encompasses new residence categories and simultaneously refines previous ones, allowing for a better
differentiation of refugee statistics. The refugee data included in this table refers to 15 December 2005.

Table 4. Refugee population and changes by origin, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births
and deaths. In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact that
the voluntary repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often not known.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

Table 4. Refugee population and changes by origin, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births
and deaths. In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact that
the voluntary repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often not known.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary
repatriation during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance
except access to UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.

Total
According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
Table 5. Refugee population and changes by major origin and country of asylum, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. The refugee population is included in this table if the number at the end of 2005 was 5,000 or more.
For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births and deaths.
In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact that the voluntary
repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often not known.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

Table 5. Refugee population and changes by major origin and country of asylum, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. The refugee population is included in this table if the number at the end of 2005 was 5,000 or more.
For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births and deaths.
In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact that the voluntary
repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often not known.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

Table 5. Refugee population and changes by major origin and country of asylum, 2005 (Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.)
N.B. The refugee population is included in this table if the number at the end of 2005 was 5,000 or more.
For many industrialized countries, UNHCR has estimated the refugee population (see Table 1, footnote 1).
The columns "Other" (increases and decreases) include population changes resulting from administrative corrections, adjustments as a result of registration, new estimates as well as births and deaths.
In some cases, the population at the end of 2005 does not equal the population at the start of the year plus increases and minus decreases. This discrepancy is due to the fact that the voluntary
repatriation figures include estimates from countries of return. In addition, the full details of the changes in the refugee population in industrialized countries are often not known.
Voluntary repatriation* shows a best estimate, based on country of asylum and country of origin reports.

UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation
during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to
UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.

Data refers to 31 December 2004 (no updated data available).
3
Refers to Palestinians under the UNHCR mandate only.
4
According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
Table 6. Asylum applications and refugee status determination by country of asylum, 2005
Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.
Important note:
In countries with more than one level in the procedure (first instance, appeal, etc.), the figures for both procedures have
been added up. As a result, appeal cases might have been counted more than once (once at first instance and once on
appeal). These data allow to monitor the number of decisions taken, but they are not indicative of the final outcome of the
procedure for negative decisions. For information on recognition rates see Table 7.

Table 6. Asylum applications and refugee status determination by country of asylum, 2005
Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.
Important note:
In countries with more than one level in the procedure (first instance, appeal, etc.), the figures for both procedures have
been added up. As a result, appeal cases might have been counted more than once (once at first instance and once on
appeal). These data allow to monitor the number of decisions taken, but they are not indicative of the final outcome of the
procedure for negative decisions. For information on recognition rates see Table 7.

Table 6. Asylum applications and refugee status determination by country of asylum, 2005
Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.
Important note:
In countries with more than one level in the procedure (first instance, appeal, etc.), the figures for both procedures have
been added up. As a result, appeal cases might have been counted more than once (once at first instance and once on
appeal). These data allow to monitor the number of decisions taken, but they are not indicative of the final outcome of the
procedure for negative decisions. For information on recognition rates see Table 7.

Notes:
A dash ("-") indicates that the value is zero or not available.
Protection indicators (calculated by UNHCR):
1
Refugee status recognition rate: Recognized divided by total of Recognized, Other positive and Rejected * 100%.
Total recognition rate: Recognized plus Other positive divided by total of Recognized, Other positive and Rejected * 100%.
Otherwise closed rate: Otherwise closed divided by Total no. of decisions * 100%.
2
Change in pending cases: Cases pending as at 31 December minus Cases pending as at 1 January divided by Cases pending as at 1 January * 100%.
The number of decisions taken at first instance (CGRA) does not include asylum applications that were declared inadmissible. During 2005, the
3
Aliens Office declared 1,353 applications admissible and 13,290 inadmissible to the asylum procedure.
Data at the end of 2005 refers to 31 December 2004 (no updated data available).

Table 8. Asylum applications and refugee status determination by origin, 2005
Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.
Important note:
In countries with more than one level in the procedure (first instance, appeal, etc.), the figures for both procedures have
been added up. As a result, appeal cases might have been counted more than once (once at first instance and once on appeal).
These data allow to monitor the number of decisions taken, but they are not indicative of the final outcome of the procedure of negative
decisions. For instance, recognition rates for nationalities which tend to appeal a rejection are underestimated.

Table 8. Asylum applications and refugee status determination by origin, 2005
Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.
Important note:
In countries with more than one level in the procedure (first instance, appeal, etc.), the figures for both procedures have
been added up. As a result, appeal cases might have been counted more than once (once at first instance and once on appeal).
These data allow to monitor the number of decisions taken, but they are not indicative of the final outcome of the procedure of negative
decisions. For instance, recognition rates for nationalities which tend to appeal a rejection are underestimated.

Source: 2005 ASR. Data are provisional and subject to change. Status as at 2 June 2006.
Important note:
In countries with more than one level in the procedure (first instance, appeal, etc.), the figures for both procedures have
been added up. As a result, appeal cases might have been counted more than once (once at first instance and once on appeal).
These data allow to monitor the number of decisions taken, but they are not indicative of the final outcome of the procedure of negative
decisions. For instance, recognition rates for nationalities which tend to appeal a rejection are underestimated.

* According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
** Data refers to 31 December 2004.
*** UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government
census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living
outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to
UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.
**** UNHCR’s method of estimating the refugee population in the United States is currently under review due to newly available information.
As a result, the estimated refugee population in the country might increase significantly as of 2006.

* According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
** UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government
census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living
outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to
UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.

* According to the Government of Algeria, there are an estimated 165,000 Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps.
** UNHCR figures for Pakistan only include Afghans living in camps who are assisted by UNHCR. According to a 2005 government census of
Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, there are an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some
of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to UNHCR-facilitated voluntary
repatriation.

Important notes:
This table reflects only IDPs who are protected or assisted by UNHCR. Most of the world's IDP situations
are not covered by UNHCR and are thus not reflected.
Most IDP figures are rough estimates and rounded to the nearest hundred.

1
This definition refers mainly to de jure stateless persons but also includes de facto stateless persons as well as persons who have difficulties establishing
their nationality.
2
The number represents the official figure on stateless persons in Azerbaijan (1,800 persons) as well as UNHCR estimates of ethnic Armenians. The
previously reported figure of 30,000 stateless ethnic Armenians was an overestimate.
3
According to Bangladesh court decisions, these individuals should be considered as citizens of Bangladesh, however, Biharis have difficulties establishing
their nationality and are generally not issued passports.
4
The figure is based on the Belarus definition of a stateless person as "a person who is not a citizen of Belarus and who has no proof of citizenship of
another country."
5
The 2005 increase represents court decisions in the four districts of Antwerpen, Brussels, Mechelen and Hasselt and as such does not reflect the total
number of judicial decisions recognizing persons as stateless. Moreover, the 2004 figure was incomplete as it only referred to statelessness attestations
issued by the Commissariat General aux Refugies et Apatrides (CGRA).
6
No official statistics on statelessness in Brazil could be identified by the time of publication. The figure relates to stateless persons who have been granted
migratory status in Brazil and thus may include only a part of the total number of stateless persons in Brazil.
7
Refers to stateless persons issued a Cedula de extranjeria.
8
A large scale voter registration process took place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2005 in preparation for the Constitutional Referendum in
December 2005 and the upcoming 2006 general elections. It has yet to be determined whether statelessness has remained a significant problem after the
November 2004 Congolese Nationality Law was enacted, followed by the registration of those entitled to vote in the elections.
9
The large majority of persons recorded as stateless have permanent residence and enjoy more rights than foreseen in the 1954 Convention relating to the
Status of Stateless Persons. Among those persons with undetermined citizenship, 120,431 hold permanent residence permits and 15,569 temporary
residence permits.
10
The large increase is caused by the fact that the end-2005 figure is based on the official number of stateless persons in Georgia, whereas the start-2005
figure refers only to an estimated figure of Meskhetians in Georgia.
11
The start-2005 figure is lower than the previously reported end-2004 figure of 10,619 as the former has been adjusted to exclude a group of stateless
persons who were simultaneously registered as refugees.
12
The total of 49 includes 3 stateless persons who were granted residence permits on humanitarian grounds, and 46 who have been issued identity
documents for stateless persons.
13
The end-2005 figure refers to 1 January 2005 (no updated figure available).
14
Ethnic Kazakhs with foreign citizenship who move to Kazakhstan and who may find themselves in a stateless situation for a period of time while applying
for Kazakhstan citizenship.
15
The figure is an estimate as no official statistics were available at the time of publication.
16
The Republic of Latvia enacted a Law on Stateless Persons on 17 February 2004, which replaced the Law on the Status of Stateless Persons in the
Republic of Latvia of 18 February 1999, and which determines the legal status of persons who are not considered as citizens by the legislation of any State
and whose status is not determined by the 25th April 1995 Law (quoted below).
17
The Republic of Latvia by the 25th April 1995 Law on the Status of Those Former USSR Citizens who are not Citizens of Latvia or of Any Other State
granted a transitional legal status to permanently residing persons (non-citizens ) entitling them to a set of rights and obligations beyond the minimum rights
prescribed by the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, and identical to those attached to the possession of nationality, with the
exception of certain limited civil and political rights. Therefore, the exclusion clause provided by Article 1.2.2 (ii) of the 1954 Convention is applicable to the
non-citizens of Latvia.
18
The figure includes 8,363 stateless persons holding permanent residence permits and 345 stateless persons with temporary residence permits.
19
Estimated number of ethnic Kazakhs who renounced their Mongolian citizenship under the nationality law to obtain the citizenship of Kazakhstan and who
subsequently sought to restore their Mongolian nationality but have not yet reacquired it.
20
With very few exceptions, all returnees from Bangladesh are stateless. In the communities in which they live in Northern Rakhine State, the vast majority of
Moslem and Hindu residents are also stateless, however UNHCR does not have reliable data about their numbers.
21
The Government of Nepal does not have statistics on the number of stateless persons in the country. The estimate of 400,000 is frequently mentioned but
the real number of stateless persons may be higher.
22
Includes stateless persons and persons holding Dutch nationality and three or more other nationalities. The figure does not distinguish between stateless
refugees and non-refugees. No updated figure for end-2005 was available at the time of publication.

24
It was reported that many of the 6,000 stateless persons in Qatar were discovered to be in possession of another citizenship or were reinstated in the
Qatar citizenship in 2005. An unidentified number, however, may still remain stateless.
25
The figure includes 1,523 stateless persons holding permanent residence permits and 7 stateless persons with temporary residence permits.
26
The end-2005 figure includes an official figure of 16,741 stateless persons who hold a temporary residence or residence permit in the Russian Federation,
14,414 de facto stateless Meskhetians in Krasnodar krai who have been registered by IOM and an estimated 40,000 other stateless persons. According to
official figures, 169,363 stateless persons were granted Russian citizenship during 2005. In addition, 6,341 Meskhetians were resettled by IOM.
27
An evaluation of the implementation of two citizenship campaigns in Sri Lanka in 2003 and 2004 has yet to be made to identify whether some Estate
Tamils were not able to apply and subsequently obtain Sri Lankan citizenship.
28
Figures are based on estimates from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
29
Statements made by the Royal Government of Thailand have indicated that there may be between 800,000 and 2.5 million persons with an undetermined
nationality in Thailand.
30
The figure of stateless persons is based on an extrapolation from the number of stateless persons registered in the 2001 census in Ukraine. It includes
6,735 stateless persons officially registered with the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior.
31
The start-2005 figure equals the end-2005 figure as the number of returns of Formerly Deported Persons to Ukraine in 2005 was approximately equal to
the number of naturalizations.
32
No official statistics on the number of stateless persons in the United Arab Emirates exist, but according to estimates by Refugees International there may
be around 100,000 stateless Bidoons residing in the country.
33
Provisional figure of stateless persons who were issued grants of settlement in the United Kingdom in 2004. No figure for 2005 was available at the time of
publication.

The Afghan refugee population in Pakistan at end-2004 was retroactively revised from 960,000 to 1.3 million following a 2005 government census of
Afghans in Pakistan. As a result, the global refugee population at end-2004 increased from 9.2 to 9.6 million.
2
The 1997-2002 figures of asylum-seekers differ from estimates reported in other UNHCR documents due to the retroactive inclusion of asylumseekers pending at German courts.
3
Stateless persons were included in the category "Various" until 2003.
