NOTES a Data refer to those recognized under the 1951 UN Convention, the 1967 UN Protocol and the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention. In the absence of government figures, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has estimated the refugee population in 25 industrialized countries based on 10 years of individual refugee recognition. b For more detailed comments on the estimates, see www.internal-displacement.org. c Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified. d A limited number of countries record refugee and asylum statistics by country of birth rather than country of origin. This affects the number of refugees reported as originating from United States. e Excludes territories in Africa, the Americas and Oceania. f Includes more than 200,000 Greek and Turkish Cypriots displaced in 1974. g Does not include the internationally unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. h Excludes non-Libyans displaced within the country. i Includes internally displaced persons from Chechnya and North Ossetia with forced migrant status in and outside the North Caucasus. j Based on a Hacettepe University survey commissioned by the government. k Includes internally displaced persons from Nagorno Karabakh and and surrounding districts as well as children born during displacement. l Includes people displaced in the 1990s and in 2008 as well as 10,000 people internally
