CRC: UNHCR to begin refugee status interviews in Delhi
1 2 Aizawl: Chin Refugee Committee (CRC) New Delhi leaders on Saturday said the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has agreed to commence Refugee Status Determination (RSD) interviews, following persistent demands from the CRC, reports HC Vanlalruata. This decision comes after a month-long protest organized by the CRC outside the New Delhi UNHCR office, which began on July 7. The breakthrough was achieved after a meeting between the UNHCR Chief of Mission and CRC leaders on Friday, leading to the initiation of interviews that are crucial for obtaining official refugee status. Until now, only 5% of the 12,000 Myanmar refugees in Delhi had been granted refugee status, with the remaining 95% holding asylum seeker cards. The lack of RSD interviews had been a significant hurdle for the refugees, exacerbated by India's non-signatory status to the 1951 Refugee Status Convention and the 1967 Protocol. Despite this, the UNHCR operates in India to provide protection and support to refugees, primarily from Myanmar and Afghanistan, in collaboration with the Indian government and other partners.
