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 PRC 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 Associate Protection Officer is a member of the Protection team and reports to the Senior Protection Officer. The incumbent has supervisor responsibility for protection staff including refugee status determination and resettlement. S/he monitors protection standards, operational procedures and practices in protection delivery in line with international standards. The Associate Protection Officer is expected to coordinate quality, timely and effective protection responses to the needs of the population of concern in China. S/he also ensures that persons of concern are involved with the Office in making decisions that affect them, whether in accessing their rights or in identifying appropriate solutions to their problems. To achieve this, the incumbent will need to build and maintain effective interfaces with local and central authorities, and communities of concern.
The ideal candidate should have extensive experience and knowledge in refugee protection and more specifically in refugee status determination and resettlement. S/he should have the ability to build constructive relationships with authorities and training experience is an asset. S/he should also have excellent written and oral communication skills.
