This list has been adapted from the International Thesaurus of Refugee Terminology , prepared by Jean Aitchison and published under the auspices of the International Refugee Documentation Network, 1989.
Nationality implies holding an official passport or citizenship.
Terms that stand alone without a numerical code denote ethnic minority groups, such as Aborigines or Acholi. Terms that are coupled with a numerical code denote nationality, such as 59012 Australians or 55263 Ugandans. Regional terms such as 57500 South East Asians imply citizenship in one of the countries in the region. Either the numerical code or the nationality term may be used in the entry. Geographical terms or codes from Supporting Document C may be used together with the ethnic minority term to indicate residence without citizenship in a country.
