UNHCR operation in Cyprus L'opération du HCR en Chypre Since 2002, Cyprus has received 93,283 asylum applications, 7,036 of them in 2020. This makes Cyprus the leading asylum receiving country per capita among the EU Member States.

Persons granted international protection are predominantly from Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Iran and Somalia. However, in 2020, new asylum-seekers in Cyprus mainly came from Syria, India, Bangladesh, Cameroon and Pakistan.

The UNHCR office in Cyprus started working in 1974 to coordinate humanitarian aid for the internally displaced Cypriots. The focus shifted in the late 90s when UNHCR started to assist the Cyprus government in gradually developing its asylum infrastructure.

Today, UNHCR’s role in Cyprus is to assist the government in further refining and improving their asylum legislation, procedures and capacities for a refugee protection system to be fully in line with international standards. Work in legal advocacy and policy involves monitoring and influencing legislation through expert advice and advocacy, providing technical assistance and promoting good practices. The office offers training to key stakeholders and runs public information and awareness activities to strengthen partnerships with civil society.

عملية المفوضية في الجزائر UNHCR operation in Algeria L'opération du HCR en Algérie Algeria serves as both a transit country and a destination for refugees and asylum-seekers from 41 different nationalities, lacking a formal asylum law and protection framework. UNHCR undertakes crucial protection activities, yet faces obstacles in reaching displaced and stateless individuals outside Algiers. The government's security-focused migration approach has led to mass expulsions of migrants, affecting asylum-seekers and refugees, who lack formal recognition and essential documentation for residency and work permits. Despite challenges posed by COVID-19 and funding gaps, UNHCR continues advocating for the rights of refugees and asylum-seekers, addressing their needs while navigating complex migration dynamics and humanitarian crisis.
