unable to obtain sanctuary from their home country or, owing to such fear, is
unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of that country

Refugees in Nepal
Nepal is home to 38,490 refugees officially recognized by the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Tibetan and Bhutanese
refugees account for a large majority of Nepal’s refugee population.
Refugees from Bhutan
In the early 1990s, close to 106,000 Bhutanese refugees settled in
seven ,supervised camps in eastern Nepal after being evicted from their homes
in Bhutan when the government introduced a new law removing citizenship and civil
rights due to ancestor. Without the right to work or own land in Nepal these refugees
have been dependent on food aid from the United Nations . After several failed
discussions aimed at repatriating the refugees to Bhutan or Nepal, the refugees are
now beginning to be relocated to other international destinations with the help of the
UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration. Since the start of its
Bhutanese refugee resettlement initiative in 2007 the UNHCR has relocated over
20,000 refugees. The United States accommodated 17,612 of these refugees, with
the rest moving to Australia, Canada, Norway, New Zealand, Denmark, and The
Netherlands.
The five Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal are:
O Beldangi
O Goldhap
O Khudunabari
O Sanischare
O Timai

Refugees from Tibet
In the years 1959, 1960, and 1961 following the 1959 Tibetan uprising and
exile of the Dalai Lama, over 20,000 Tibetans migrated to Nepal. Since then
many have emigrated to India or settled in refugee camps set up by
the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Government of Nepal,
the Swiss Government, Services for Technical Co-operation Switzerland,
and Australian Refugees Committee. Those who arrived before 1989 were
issued refugee ID cards and benefited from de facto economic integration;
however, more recent arrivals have no legal status and cannot own property,
businesses, vehicles, or be employed lawfully. Many of these recent arrivals
transit through Nepal on their way to India. Currently there are twelve
Tibetan Refugee camps in Nepal, each supervised by a representative
appointed by the Central Tibetan Administration

O Many of the recent arrivals have faced so many challenges and unjust at
Nepal borders.

Other refugees
O Although Nepal is home to some 800,000 stateless residents, the exact
number of refugees is uncertain because Nepal is not a signatory of the 1951
U.N.Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees that ensures the legal
status and economic rights of refugees. Nepal’s National Unit for the
Coordination of Refugee Affairs has requested that the UNHCR not
recognize additional cases of urban refugees within its borders in an effort
to prevent Nepal from becoming a safe haven for illegal immigrants. Among
the 600 refugees already recognized are mostly Pakistanis and few Somalis,
many of who belong to the Ahmadiya community that fled religious
persecution in Pakistan, while the Somalis have been a victims of human
trafficking.

Organization working under solving refugee
O United Nations High Commission for Refugees
UNHCR has been working with NGOs since we first began
helping the forcibly displaced in the early 1950s. As our work and
size grew to cope with emerging refugee crises in the 1960s,
1970s and 1980s, especially in Africa, Asia and Central America,
so did our ties with a wide range of newly formed humanitarian
and refugee-related NGOs.

O Immigrant and refugee commity organization
IRCO's mission is to promote the integration of refugees, immigrants and the community
at large into a self-sufficient, healthy and inclusive multi-ethnic society.
Founded in 1976 by refugees for refugees, IRCO has nearly 40 years of history and experience
working with Portland's refugee and immigrant communities. Following the 1970s political upheavals
in Southeast Asia, Oregon and Washington were two of the first states to offer new opportunities and
homes to refugees. A group of Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian refugees in Portland formed the
Indochinese Cultural and Service Center (ICSC) to help newly arrived families adjust to American
society and find jobs.
By the mid-'80s, ICSC joined forces with another community-based organization, Southeast Asian
Refugee Federation (SEARF). The newly formed International Refugee Center of Oregon (IRCO)
became the sole service provider of employment services and job training for all newly arrived
refugees, a role IRCO has retained ever since. We became the Immigrant and Refugee Community
Organization in 2001. In 1994, IRCO founded the Asian Family Center, the first of our culturally and
linguistically specific one stop service locations, followed by the establishment of Africa House in 2006.

O Providing security and safety
O Providing job
O Stop trafficking and racism
