Letter
dated 17 October 2005 from the Permanent Representative of Yemen
to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General
Summary:
At its fifth
session, in 1950, the General Assembly adopted the statute of
the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (resolution
428 (V), annex).
Office of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
At its
fifty-ninth session, the General Assembly, inter alia, urged
Governments and other donors to respond promptly to the annual
and supplementary appeals issued by the Office of the High
Commissioner for requirements under its programmes; and
requested the High Commissioner to report on his activities to
the Assembly at its sixtieth session (resolution
59/170).
Report of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
At its
fifty-eighth session, the General Assembly decided that the
High Commissioner should make an annual oral report to the
Economic and Social Council to keep it informed of the
coordination aspects of the work of the Office and should
continue the existing practice, as established in paragraph 11
of its statute, of presenting an annual written report to the
General Assembly, on the understanding that every 10 years,
beginning at the sixty-eighth session, the report would
include a strategic review of the global situation of refugees
and the role of the Office, prepared in consultation with the
Secretary-General and the Executive Committee (resolution
58/153).
The report of
the annual session of the Executive Committee of the High
Commissioner’s Programme is submitted in an addendum to the
High Commissioner’s annual report.
Assistance
to refugees, returnees and displaced persons in Africa
The question
of assistance to refugees, returnees and displaced persons in
Africa was considered by the General Assembly at its
forty-sixth to fifty-eighth sessions (resolutions 46/108,
47/107, 48/118, 49/174, 50/149, 51/71, 52/101, 53/126, 54/147,
55/77, 56/135, 57/183 and 58/149).
At its
fifty-ninth session, the General Assembly requested the
Secretary-General to submit a comprehensive report to it at
its sixtieth session on assistance to refugees, returnees and
displaced persons in Africa, taking fully into account the
efforts expended by countries of asylum, and to present an
oral report to the Economic and Social Council at its
substantive session of 2005 (resolution
59/172).
Follow-up
to the Regional Conference to Address the Problems of
Refugees, Displaced Persons, Other Forms of Involuntary
Displacement and Returnees in the Countries of the
Commonwealth of Independent States and Relevant Neighbouring
States
At its
fifty-eighth session, the General Assembly requested the
Secretary-General to report to it at its sixtieth session on
the progress achieved in the implementation of activities
undertaken in follow-up to the Programme of Action adopted in
1996 by the Regional Conference to Address the Problems of
Refugees, Displaced Persons, Other Forms of Involuntary
Displacement and Returnees in the Countries of the
Commonwealth of Independent States and Relevant Neighbouring
States (resolution
58/154).
Assistance
to unaccompanied refugee minors
The question
of assistance to unaccompanied refugee minors was considered
by the General Assembly at its forty-ninth to fifty-second,
fifty-fourth and fifty-sixth sessions (resolutions 49/172,
50/150, 51/73, 52/105, 54/145 and 56/136).
At its
fifty-eighth session, the General Assembly requested the
Secretary-General to report to it at its sixtieth session on
the implementation of the resolution entitled “Assistance to
unaccompanied refugee minors” and to give special attention in
his report to the girl-child refugee (resolution
58/150).
