Senior Protection Clerk - UNHCR - Lebanon

UNHCR is mandated to provide protection and seek durable solutions for refugees. In the Lebanese context, its mandate function is directly discharged by the organization as the Government of Lebanon is not a party to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol. Due to the recent deterioration of the situation in Iraq, there have been an increasing number of Iraqi nationals seeking protection in Lebanon. In this context, UNHCR is expanding its operation to ensure the protection of Iraqis while paying also due regard to the other nationals seeking asylum such as Sudanese and Somalis.

A large proportion of UNHCR’s persons of concern enter Lebanon illegally. Those who enter legally usually overstay in Lebanon due to the prevailing situation in their countries of origin and end up similarly in an illegal situation. As a result, they are often arrested and faced with charges of clandestine entry / illegal stay in Lebanon, referred to courts and sentenced to imprisonment. In many instances, they are detained beyond the initial imprisonment sentence until a time they are either released following an intervention by UNHCR or they choose to repatriate to Iraq, which amounts to arbitrary detention. Their illegal status has also an impact on the daily life. They are often faced with a multitude of legal problems as a direct result. UNHCR has initiated in 2006 to this effect, in cooperation with local NGOs and independent lawyers, a legal aid project aiming to provide legal counselling and legal representation before the courts to the refugee population. A UNHCR staff member has been acting as a coordinator and is handling the daily follow up of the project. However, the project output has increased significantly in 2007 with the increasing number of persons of concern entering the country. The administrative work load was subsequently amplified.
