General Background

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to provide protection (including assistance) and seek durable solutions for millions of refugees around the world. In the People’s Republic of China, UNHCR registers and conducts refugee status determination for those seeking asylum, working to help refugees find solutions to their situations. UNHCR is involved with ensuring support for the protection of refugees and works with Government authorities to build domestic capacity. In addition, it has a specific mandate for the prevention and addressing situations of statelessness.

Operational Context

UNHCR’s official presence in the People’s Republic of China dates back to 1979 to assist the Government with Indo-Chinese refugees. Since then, its work has centred on refugee status determination, assistance and seeking durable solutions for refugees. Despite being signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention since 1982, China has no national asylum system. In the absence of asylum legislation and due to a lack of institutions and operating partners on the ground playing any protection role within the country, UNHCR delivers all core protection services through the operation of its mandate. The Government has expressed interest in incrementally taking over UNHCR’s responsibilities and UNHCR works with the Government authorities to build domestic capacity.

The Protection Associate is a member of the Protection team and falls under the overall supervision of the Senior Protection Officer. S/he monitors protection standards, operational procedures and practices in protection delivery in line with international standards.

He/she conducts interviews with asylum-seekers, both in person and through remote means, with the assistance of an interpreter where necessary and deliver RSD assessments regarding eligibility to refugee status in compliance with UNHCR procedural standards, international protection principles and guidelines. S/he may travel outside the Office to conduct these interviews, including in detention centres and other designated locations around the country. S/he provides counselling to, and responds to, queries from asylum seekers regarding UNHCR's RSD procedures, their rights and obligations, including towards the host authorities, and the status of the processing of their claims. In discharging these responsibilities, the Protection Associate liaises closely with Registration, and other Protection staff.

The Protection Associate helps to identify potential durable solutions for refugees and assists in ensuring refugee’s access to information related to durable solutions. S/he conducts interviews with recognized refugees to support the process of securing solutions, including resettlement to a third country. S/he drafts resettlement registration forms for submission to resettlement countries. S/he provides counselling to and responds to queries from refugee on durable solutions including RST related matters.
