Global Trends
During the first half of 2014, conflict continued to result in the displacement of millions of
refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) globally causing significant changes in the
trends and number of refugees, asylum-seekers, IDPs and others of concern to UNHCR. In this
context, management of humanitarian crises is increasingly complex, including with regard to
the production of timely and comprehensive statistics.
U N H C R / C . T i j er i n a
Global forced
displacement
By the end of 2013, 51.2 million individuals were
forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution,
conflict, generalized violence, or human rights
violations. Some 16.7 million persons were refugees:
11.7 million under UNHCRs mandate and
5.0 million Palestinian refugees registered by UNRWA.
The global figure included 33.3 million IDPs and close
to 1.2 million asylum-seekers.
An updated figure on global forced displacement was
not available at the time of writing this report. It will
be available in June 2015, on the occasion of the release
of the 2014 Global Trends report.

tries around the world reported the presence of Syrian refugees during the first
half of 2014, neighbouring countries
continue to shoulder by and large the
highest burden. This includes Lebanon
(1.1 million), Turkey (798,000), Jordan
(645,600), Iraq (220,400), and Egypt
(138,100). During the first half of the
year, the net Syrian refugee population
grew by more than half a million persons in these five countries alone.
Syrian refugees accounted for nearly a quarter (23%) of all refugees under
UNHCRs mandate by the middle of
2014. Further, Syrian refugees outside
their country represented about 14 per
cent of the countrys resident population
at the beginning of the conflict.3

tral African Republic in late 2013 triggered the exodus of more than 143,000
people into neighbouring countries,
turning it into one of the most challenging emergencies during the reporting period. Overall, some 381,000
persons had found refuge by the end
of the reporting period, including in
Cameroon (205,500), Chad (92,100), the
Democratic Republic of the Congo
(60,600), and the Republic of Congo
(16,400). This compares to 252,900 at
the start of the year. Many of the new
arrivals had already been displaced internally within their country as a result
of the violence in late 2013.
The top 10 source countries of refugees combined accounted for 78 per
cent of all refugees under UNHCRs
mandate. The top three alone the Syrian Arab Republic, Afghanistan, and
Somalia made up 52 per cent. Half of
these 10 countries, it should be noted, are
in sub-Saharan Africa.

10 In the absence of an internationally agreed methodology for calculating recognition rates, the Total
Recognition Rate is calculated by dividing the number of asylum-seekers granted Convention refugee status
or a complementary form of protection by the total number of substantive decisions (Convention status,
complementary protection, and rejected cases). Non-substantive decisions are, to the extent possible, excluded
from the calculation. For the purpose of global comparability, UNHCR does not report rates calculated by national

who benefited from resettlement programmes during the first half of the year
originated from Myanmar (9,300), Iraq
(5,300), Bhutan (5,100), Somalia (4,300),
and the Syrian Arab Republic (3,500).
Persons from these five countries combined accounted for 81 per cent of all
UNHCR-assisted resettlement departures.
Similarly, countries that reported
the largest number of resettlement departures with UNHCRs assistance included Malaysia (6,100), Nepal (5,100),
Turkey (3,900), Lebanon (3,800),
Thailand (3,500), and Kenya (2,100).
Together, these six countries accounted
for two-thirds (67%) of the global number
of resettlement cases processed during
the first half of the year.n
Refugee Returns

Refugees include
individuals recognized under the
1951 Convention relating to the
Status of Refugees and its 1967
Protocol, persons recognized
under the 1969 Organization of
African Unity (OAU) Convention
Governing the Specific Aspects of
Refugee Problems in Africa, those
recognized in accordance with
the UNHCR Statute, individuals
granted complementary forms
of protection,15 and those
enjoying temporary protection.16
The refugee category also
includes persons in a refugeelike situation.17

IN the statistics?
Returned IDPs refer to
those IDPs who were beneficiaries
of UNHCRs protection and
assistance activities, and who
returned to their area of origin
or habitual residence between
January and June 2014. In practice,
however, operations may assist
IDP returnees for longer periods.
Other groups or
persons of concern
refers to individuals who do
not necessarily fall directly
into any of these groups but to
whom UNHCR has extended its
protection and/or assistance
services, based on humanitarian
or other special grounds.
