UNHCR - UNHCR questions closure of camps for internally displaced in Chechnya - 0 views

  • Russian authorities' recent closure of two tent camps for displaced people in Chechnya.
  • found one of the camps dismantled and the other almost empty, with just a few tents remaining
  • assurances from Moscow that Chechens living in neighbouring Ingushetia would not be forced back to their volatile Northern Caucasus homeland. Insisting that returns must be voluntary, the refugee agency specified that those who do not wish to return must have options to allow them to remain in safety. Measures include winterisation of accommodation, ongoing safe haven in Ingushetia, regularisation of their status where they are currently residing and, where opportunities arise, medium-term integration.

  • Constraints Lack of access to State-run medical care, social benefits and legal employment for asylum-seekers and refugees remain major impediments to local integration. Xenophobia continues to be a concern, especially in some urban environments. Reception standards for asylum-seekers and refugees are inadequate. UNHCR's ability to fully address statelessness is dependent upon accession by the Government to the Statelessness Conventions.
