Notes:               Refugees are people who are recognized as refugees under the 1951
                     Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol,
                     the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention Governing the
                     Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, people recognized as
                     refugees in accordance with the UNHCR statute, people granted
                     refugee-like humanitarian status, and people provided temporary
                     protection. Asylum seekers - people who have applied for asylum or
                     refugee status and who have not yet received a decision or who are
                     registered as asylum seekers - are excluded. Palestinian refugees are
                     people (and their descendants) whose residence was Palestine between
                     June 1946 and May 1948 and who lost their homes and means of
                     livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Country of
                     asylum is the country where an asylum claim was filed and granted.
