Refugees in Nepal

Nepal is home to 38,490 refugees officially recognized by theUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Tibetan and Bhutanese refugees account for a large majority of Nepals refugee population.Refugees from BhutanIn the early 1990s, close to 106,000Bhutanese refugeessettled in seven,supervised camps in eastern Nepal after being evicted from their homes inBhutan 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: BeldangiGoldhapKhudunabariSanischareTimai

Refugees from TibetIn the years 1959, 1960, and 1961 following the1959 Tibetan uprisingand exile of theDalai Lama, over 20,000Tibetansmigrated to Nepal. Since then many have emigrated to India or settled in refugee camps set up by theInternational Committee of the Red Cross, theGovernment of Nepal, theSwiss Government, Services for Technical Co-operation Switzerland, and Australian Refugees Committee. Those who arrived before 1989 were issued refugee ID cards and benefited fromde 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 theCentral Tibetan AdministrationChoejor (Chorten & Jorpati)Delekling, SolukhumbuDorpattan, BaglungJampaling, Lodrik, PokharaNamgyeling, Chirok, MustangPaljorling, Lodrik, PokharaPhakshing & GyalsaRasuwa, DuncheSamdupling, JawalakhelTashi Palkhiel, PokharaTashiling, PokharaWalungMany of the recent arrivals have faced so many challenges and unjust at Nepal borders.

Other refugeesAlthough Nepal is home to some 800,000stateless 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 Refugeesthat ensures the legal status and economic rights of refugees.Nepals 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 forillegal 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 ofhuman trafficking.

Organization working under solving refugee

United Nations High Commission for RefugeesUNHCR 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.

Immigrant and refugee commity organization

IRCO's missionis 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.
