The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is mandated to ensure international protection to refugees and others of concern to the Office of the High Commissioner and to seek permanent solutions to their problems in cooperation with States and other organizations, including through the provision of humanitarian assistance. The present report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) evaluates the role of UNHCR in the registration of refugees and asylum seekers from 2012 to 2016.
Registration responsibilities ultimately reside with the country where refuge or asylum is sought. Within this context, the registration role of UNHCR varies widely: in some countries, the host Government undertakes registration alone; in others, UNHCR supports host Governments’ registration work in a variety of ways; and in still others, UNHCR leads the registration process.
