Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Comprehensive Plan of Action for Indo-Chinese Refugees was devised to respond to the many thousands of people fleeing Vietnam and Laos in the 1980s. The principal objectives of the CPA 1989 were to reverse that exodus by putting in place the political and practical framework that would stem future irregular flows and return those not in need of international protection. It created a system of refugee status determination (screening) in the countries of first asylum that allowed those who met the criteria to be resettled, but those who fell outside to be returned to their country of origin. While it restored asylum in the region, there were many problems with the CPA that led to concerns that it was merely an example of political expediency.The CPA forced UNHCR to address many mandate and ethical issues. Under the CPA, UNHCR was the primary vehicle through which many of the burden-sharing arrangements were coordinated and steered. The Agency played a pivotal, and in many respects novel, role in all aspects of the CPA in the region, particularly in Vietnam. For UNHCR, the CPA was confirmation that to protect refugees and the institution of asylum, the organisation had to be actively engaged at all stages and places in the displacement cycle, including with non-refugees and in countries of origin.

Book excerpt: "Spanning a period of twenty-one years, the Vietnamese "boat people" exodus was the last major refugee crisis of the Cold War. The international response agreed on in Geneva in 1979 was in line with Western Cold War values, but by 1988 it had begun to unravel. The new international response took the form of the Comprehensive Plan of Action for Indochinese Refugees (CPA), which was in place from 1989 to 1996. This paper offers a detailed look at the process of negotiating the CPA, its contents, how it was received, and its implementation. At the time it was agreed, the CPA was revolutionary in two ways: first, it was comprehensive, and second, it was predicated on the right of Vietnamese boat people to land and to be processed for refugee status. As a result, the CPA both saved lives and marked the transition from blanket recognition of refugee status to individual status determination -- all in a region whose countries had not ratified the Refugee Convention." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of the International Journal of Refugee Law is devoted to the Comprehensive Plan of Action (CPA) for Indo-Chinese asylum seekers in South East Asia, a regional agreement aimed at resolving the problem of outflows from Vietnam. Under the agreement, resettlement offers were no longer to be linked to the simple fact of departure, but to "recognized refugees" only. Recognition was to be determined by a consistent refugee status determination process. The idea of a region-wide status determination policy is unique and forms the focus for this issue, which draws on papers prepared for a 1992 colloquium in Manila, organized by the Jesuit Refugee Service Asia/Pacific. Andrew Shacknove analyzes the current shift, among affluent states, away from a commitment to offering asylum towards a policy of containment in or near the country of origin. Sten Bronée provides a history of the origins of the CPA, while Arthur Helton and Roda Mushkat assess the refugee status determination process, the former in relation to the region as a whole, the latter with special reference to Hong Kong. The final paper is by Carole McDonald and offers an account of the damaging effects of detention on unaccompanied minors and other children as a consequence of CPA procedures and delays. The full texts of the CPA and the 1988 Memorandum of Understanding betweenUNHCR and Vietnam are included. Also provided is the complete text of the Jesuit Refugee Service Lawyers Project booklet entitled "Notes for Vietnamese Asylum Seekers awaiting Refugee Status Determination".

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comprehensive Plan of Action for Indochinese Asylum Seekers: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on International Operations and Human Rights of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, July 27, 1995 Our written statement goes into some detail on the international legal framework on which the cpa agreement was based. I would like to focus my remarks today on an examination that the lawyers committee has done of this screening process, particularly in Hong Kong, and problems that we have identified with it. As you know, the cpa required the introduction into the region of a consistent refugee status determination process to be con ducted in accordance with national legislation and internationally accepted practice. However, despite this noble goal at the outset, refugee screening under the cpa has been seriously flawed.

Download or read book Regional Approaches to the Protection of Asylum Seekers written by Ademola Abass and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive assessment of regional responses to the crisis in the asylum/refugee system and critically examines how different regions tackle the problem. The chapters consider the fundamental challenges which undermine an effective asylum process as well as regional difficulties with the various circumstances surrounding asylum seekers. With contributions on Africa, Europe, Latin America, South Asia and the Middle East, and the Pacific, the collection strives to appreciate what informs each region’s approach to the asylum process and asks if there are issues common to every region and if regions can learn from one another. The book seeks an understanding of the existing legal regime for the protection of asylum seekers and how regional institutions such as human rights commissions and regional courts enforce and adjudicate the law. The volume will be valuable to those interested in international law, migration and human rights.
