2013 UNHCR regional operations profile - East Asia and the Pacific
Working environment
The East Asia and the Pacific subregion presents diverse challenges for UNHCR, as well as opportunities. In China, the need for the enactment and implementation of national asylum legislation requires sustained advocacy efforts and technical advice. A recently adopted Exit-Entry Administration Law will come into force in July 2013. In the Hong Kong SAR (China), while there are no national laws that provide protection specifically for refugees, a Memorandum of Understanding between the authorities and UNHCR has improved the protection of asylum-seekers and refugees.
In Mongolia, UNHCR is advising the Government on how to build its national capacity in anticipation of the country's accession to the 1951 Refugee Convention. Meanwhile, the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea has passed a new refugee law which will come into force in July 2013. This landmark legislation will not only strengthen Korea's domestic asylum system, it will also have a positive impact on refugee protection in the East Asia region as a whole.
In November 2011, to mark the 60th anniversary of the 1951 Convention and the 30th anniversary of Japan's accession to it, both Houses of the Japanese Parliament unanimously adopted a resolution confirming the country's continuing commitment to refugee protection. Subsequently, a ground-breaking cooperation framework on asylum issues, and alternatives to detention in particular, was adopted by the Ministry of Justice and key civil society organizations.
The Government of Japan has extended the term of a pilot resettlement project by two years. It has expanded the resettlement selection sites to two other refugee camps in Thailand and established an Experts Council to discuss the way forward after the pilot phase.
The increasing number of asylum-seekers coming by boat to Australia, and several major tragedies involving loss of life at sea, have stirred vigorous public debate in the country. This has led to the introduction of tougher policies aimed at deterring asylum-seekers from taking dangerous boat journeys. In August 2012, Australia passed legislation to allow the transfer of asylum-seekers arriving by boat to third countries, including Nauru and Papua New Guinea, where their claims for protection will be assessed. At the same time, Australia has committed itself to longer-term investment and cooperation in South-East Asia. It is also currently implementing an increase in its annual humanitarian intake to 20,000.
In mid-2012, New Zealand introduced legislation designed to respond to the possibility of asylum-seekers arriving by boat. A new national settlement strategy for the 750 refugees resettled by New Zealand each year is also being implemented.
In Papua New Guinea (PNG), there has been gradual progress towards improving refugee protection, with a policy submission for the withdrawal of the seven reservations to the 1951 Convention tabled by the National Executive Council, and referred to the new Government for decision.
Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea have all maintained or increased their generous contributions to UNHCR, with Australia and Japan making record-high contributions in 2011. Greater efforts in private-sector fund raising in Australia, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Hong Kong SAR (China) have yielded positive results, and this trend is expected to continue.
Strategy in 2013
UNHCR will continue to advocate for improved protection of all people of concern, respect of the principle of non-refoulement, alternatives to detention, unhindered access to asylum, high-quality refugee status determination (RSD) procedures and expanded opportunities for durable solutions. It will also advocate for better opportunities for livelihoods and integration for urban refugees, improved reception conditions, and the prevention of statelessness.
Offices in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia and China will continue working on strengthening public support for refugee issues. They will also intensify their efforts to raise funds from public and private sources in these countries, including through the development of existing and new partnerships with state and civil society actors.
UNHCR's efforts to promote a more favourable protection environment in East Asia and the Pacific continues to be challenged by States' still limited understanding of the protection dimension of population displacement issues and a general orientation to deal with refugees from a narrow national security and border control angle. Under these circumstances, the legitimate concerns of governments related to curbing and containing irregular migration, smuggling and human trafficking have an impact on the protection of refugees and asylum-seekers in the region in a situation of mixed migration flows. Limited state ownership of asylum processes and social support initiatives on behalf of refugees and asylum-seekers in South East Asia countries exacerbates regional unbalances, which further encourage onward movements. Challenges remain in ensuring entry to territory and access to asylum procedures as well as the provision of proper reception conditions at points of entry. Furthermore, the detention of asylum-seekers and refugees, including children and vulnerable groups, remains cause for disquiet. Limited livelihood opportunities increase the vulnerability of refugees and asylum-seekers in urban areas.
In China, UNHCR will continue to advocate for respect for the principle of non-refoulement, undertake RSD under its mandate and identify durable solutions for all people of concern, while lobbying for the enactment of national refugee legislation and policies in accordance with international refugee law. UNHCR will continue to provide life-sustaining assistance to refugees pending the implementation of appropriate durable solutions, including accommodation, living allowances and access to basic health care. It will also continue its efforts to raise public awareness on refugee issues. In the Hong Kong SAR (China), UNHCR's focus will be on strengthening its partnerships with the authorities and civil society.
In Mongolia, UNHCR will undertake training and other capacity-building activities to assist government institutions, civil society and academia to promote refugee law principles in preparation for the country's accession to the 1951 Refugee Convention.
In the Republic of Korea, UNHCR will work with the Ministry of Justice and civil society to assist the Government to draft a robust Presidential Decree ahead of the enforcement of the Refugee Act in July 2013. In particular, UNHCR will emphasize the need for clear asylum procedures at points of entry to ensure that the principle of non-refoulement is respected.
UNHCR will increase its engagement with NGO partners and continue to expand the network of service providers in order to address the most pressing needs of asylum-seekers and refugees more effectively until relevant Government programmes are introduced. A Government-run refugee reception centre is expected to be completed in 2013. UNHCR will strengthen its efforts to mobilize resources from the private sector in Korea by expanding its individual giving programmes through face-to-face and online fund raising channels. In order to diversify its donor base, UNHCR will also start fund-raising among corporations and foundations in 2013.
In Japan, UNHCR will build on the positive developments achieved so far and assist the Government, in close cooperation with key stakeholders, to develop a comprehensive asylum process. UNHCR will not only strengthen its cooperation with the immigration authorities to build their capacity but also develop a strategy on asylum that looks at every aspect of the process from reception to local integration. UNHCR will undertake a wide range of awareness-raising activities in partnership with the national association and partners such as the clothing retailer Fast Retailing (UNIQLO), including collaborative internship programmes, school outreach activities and public events such as the Refugee Film Festival.
In Australia and New Zealand, UNHCR's focus will be on monitoring policy and legislation to ensure that asylum space is maintained and that compliance with the Refugee Convention continues. UNHCR will monitor the quality of decision-making and jurisprudence on asylum, and will advocate for the expanded use of alternatives to detention that Australia has been increasingly relying on - such as its community detention programmes.
UNHCR will work with Australia and New Zealand to maximize the use of resettlement as a strategic protection tool and burden-sharing mechanism, particularly as Australia moves to increase its annual humanitarian intake to 20,000 by July 2013. UNHCR will closely monitor any bilateral arrangements involving the transfer of asylum-seekers, including those agreed to in 2012 by Australia and Nauru as well as Australia and Papua New Guinea, to ensure such arrangements include fundamental protection principles in both their letter and their implementation.
The engagement of Australia and New Zealand under the Regional Cooperation Framework (RCF) and by the new Regional Support Office (RSO) will continue to be strongly supported by UNHCR, which will advocate for long-term regional cooperation on the protection of refugees and asylum-seekers in the region. UNHCR will also promote public awareness of asylum issues to optimize support from public and private donors in Australia and New Zealand.
In the Pacific Island Countries, UNHCR will provide practical support to States to introduce protection safeguards in immigration procedures, and continue to provide support in the areas of RSD and training. Under the Pacific region protection cluster, UNHCR, in coordination with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, will support efforts to integrate protection considerations into the responses to natural and man-made disasters.
UNHCR's Branch Office in Papua New Guinea (PNG) will be closed by the end of 2012. UNHCR will maintain a staff presence in the country with the PNG programme being supported by the Regional Office in Canberra, Australia. Where necessary, UNHCR will continue to provide limited material assistance to non-Melanesian refugees in urban areas. Public awareness activities will be undertaken in cooperation with government counterparts to support on-going legal initiatives.
Financial information
UNHCR's 2013 budget reflects the comprehensive needs of the populations of concern in East Asia and the Pacific, while taking into account implementation capacity. Though the overall requirements for the sub-region have come down since 2011, the budget in 2013 will enable UNHCR to maintain its capacity to address the protection and assistance needs of populations of concern, carry out key advocacy activities and develop innovative regional approaches to the management of mixed migration flows.

Justin Timberlake hints at new music
Updated On: Jan 11 2013 03:17:20 PM CST
Now that we're done hyperventilating and collectively freaking out, we can talk about Justin Timberlake's cryptic proclamation that he might be back in business. The music business, to be precise.
A rep for the newly married entertainer said in August that Timberlake didn't have new solo music in the works, despite rumors to the contrary. But it would appear that in 2013 Timberlake is changing his tune.
The 31-year-old dropped hints on Twitter and on his website Thursday that new tunes are forthcoming, even setting up a countdown clock so the eagerly anticipating can watch the seconds tick by.
"Your wait will be over Sunday........" said Timberlake in a vague post on his website. Thankfully, he also offered a YouTube clip that gives a little more clarity.
"To whom it may concern...I think I'M READY!" he tweeted with a link to the clip.
In the video, he describes being asked whether he was simply done with music.
"It means more to me than anybody else in the world," Timberlake said, as the video tracks him walking into a booth in a recording studio and donning a pair of headphones.
"I'm the one who sits and is obsessive about it before you even get to hear it," he continued. "As close as I get to it, I don't know that I could physically torture myself that much year in and year out and expect it to fulfill me the way that it does, and the way that it is right now. I don't want to put anything out that I feel like is something I don't love. You just don't get that everyday. You have to wait for it."

It cited "confusion about or distrust" of emergency storm warnings and a "lack of awareness" of the tornado's approach. The tornado killed 161 people and destroyed thousands of buildings.

Progressive groups pressure lawmakers
Organizations call for fiscal cliff solution
Two coalitions of progressive groups are trying to exert more pressure on lawmakers to protect the Bush-era tax cuts for the middle class as congressional leaders and the White House try to avert the fiscal cliff when all tax rates rise and major spending cuts are enacted at the beginning of next year.
The groups, Americans for Tax Fairness and the Action, are planning more than 100 events on Saturday to push for the rates to rise for couples making more than $250,000.
The events range from a "caroling for tax fairness" at Iowa Republican Senator Charles Grassley's Des Moines office to a press conference with small business owners in Aurora, Colorado, to a petition drive in Columbus, Ohio, to a yacht trip and press conference on Staten Island, New York, as well as protests.
Americans for Tax Fairness, which includes 230 unions, advocacy groups, think tanks and small business organizations, and Action, comprised of more than 100 state and local organizations, are focusing efforts on convincing Republicans and moderate Democrats.
Frank Clemente, campaign manager for Americans for Tax Fairness, said the nationwide effort is "to make the public aware of who is holding things up."
These groups will sponsor a call-in day next Wednesday to urge people to contact members of Congress and will hold "vigils" outside congressional offices the week after next.
While these organizations' initiatives are mostly focused on the tax part of the issue, other progressive groups are focusing on the spending side, urging the White House not to push for major cuts in entitlement programs -- Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
The advocacy group MoveOn and a group of major unions -- American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and National Education Association (NEA) - sponsored efforts at lobbying congressional members this week.
Additionally, that labor coalition bought $300,000 worth of television and radio ads earlier this month aimed at centrist Democratic senators and key Republicans on the entitlement issue and is considering buying additional air time.
"Make no mistake, we will not rest until Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and education are spared from cuts. We won't take our foot off the gas. So stay tuned," Chris Fleming, a spokesman for AFSCME, told CNN.

East Asian Art Tsuitate Screen with Design of Golden Fox Made in Wajima, Japan, AsiaShöwa Period (1926-1989), c. 1950s Itaya Kōji, Japanese, 1925 - 2006 Lacquer on wood with chinkin (incised gold), gold leaf, and inlay of raden (shell); single-panel screen Currently not on view 2006-31-1 Gift of Frederick R. McBrien III, 2006 |
LabelThe artist Itaya Kōji specialized in the chinkin (incised gold) technique, which involves carving a design on the lacquer surface and then filling it with gold leaf. It is particularly difficult and exacting. Even a small bowl with this type of decoration can take as long as three months to produce, because every step in the process is done by hand and the lacquer must be allowed to dry thoroughly between each application of the multiple layers. |

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet is an automobile brand produced by General Motors. Founded on November 3rd, 1911 by racecar driver, Louis Chevrolet and ousted General Motors founder, William Durant, Chevy ultimately merged with General Motors in 1918.
Chevrolet was originally intended to sell mass-marketed vehicles to the public in order to compete against Ford's popular Model T. During the 1920s, "Chevrolet" and "Chevy" were synonymous with General Motors.
The first Chevrolet was the expensive Series C Classic Six, a Brass Era automobile. These types of cars were considered Brass Era because of the prominent brass fittings on the radiators and other parts of the vehicle. The early Series C Classic Six series was larger, powerful and stylized, making it more costly than subsequent cars. Although Louis Chevrolet loved the high-performance car, William Durant had dreams of a more affordable vehicle.
Under Durant's management, the cars that followed the Series C would be 4-cylinder competitors to the Model T. Chevrolet's first engine was a T-head configuration that could produce 40 horsepower.
From the 1920s into the 1940s, Chevy competed with Ford and, along with Plymouth, was known as one of the "low-priced three".
Chevy launched the Standard Six in 1933 as a more affordable alternative to the 1932 model. It came in three body styles - a coach, coupe and a coupe with a rumble seat. 1936 would bring new innovations to the model and cabriolet and sports sedan versions were created. It was discontinued in 1937.
1955 brought about the development of the Chevrolet small-block V8, which is a design that has remained in continuous production. This makes it the longest-running mass-produced engine in the entire world.
Popular Chevy automobiles include the Chevy 3100 ½ ton pickup, the Suburban and the Bel Air. The Chevy Bel Air was a full-sized car produced by GM between 1950 and 1975. It is the embodiment of classic 1950s nostalgia and is a favorite of collectors throughout the world. Early Bel Airs featured a hardtop, which was designed like a convertible without a detachable roof. The first Bel Air model cost $1,741 and weighed a whopping 3,225 pounds. By 1953, the Bel Air was considered a premium model and was advertised as "entirely new, through and through". The car would develop through the 1970s, become popular in drag racing and would even become the choice police sedan. Today, Chevrolet is one of the biggest automobile makers in the world.

My fiance and the wedding party got these pants for our destination beach wedding. They look great!! They are light weight so overheating shouldn't be an issue. We've paired these pants with a white button-up. The look is casual but neat! I gave an overall rating of "good" because the wedding hasn't happened yet so the jury is still out on durability. Otherwise, the look and feel are fantastic!

Rated 5 out of 5 by StooPotts Drawstring Linen Pants Are Wonderful!!!
My wife and I got married on a tropical island last year. For my wedding outfit, she recommended that I purchase a pair of white linen pants to go with a nice tropical shirt. I agreed to do it when I found a pair of linen pants at a very reasonable price on cubavera.com. Before purchase, I figured that the chance of me wearing the pants again after the wedding was about as great as for my wife wearing her wedding dress again. Boy, was I wrong!!! The linen pants were extremely comfortable, stylish, and fit perfectly. They also kept me very cool on an extremely hot and muggy wedding day. I liked the pants so much that I went back out to the Cuvavera website and bought five more pairs of the linen pants in different colors! They are now my pants of choice for all casual and semi-casual events during the Summer. I even wear them to church! These pants are fantastic and very affordable! I highly recommend them!

Bradley Manning Wikileaks case back in court
Manning expected to testify about detention later this week
A U.S. Army private accused of leaking classified documents, many of which wound up on the WikiLeaks website, was back in court on Tuesday.
At a pre-trial hearing at Ft. Meade, Maryland, lawyers for Bradley Manning and the military judge hearing his court-martial addressed procedural issues surrounding the possibility he would plead guilty to minor charges.
One issue in play is whether a guilty plea would cause Manning to waive his right to a speedy trial on other counts.
The bigger issue for the week involves a bid by Manning and his attorneys to have serious charges dismissed on grounds that he was mistreated while in military custody.
The Army intelligence analyst is suspected of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified military and State Department documents while serving in Iraq.
Many of them ended up on the WikiLeaks website. WikiLeaks has never confirmed that Manning was the source of the information.
Charges against Manning, 24, include aiding the enemy, wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the Internet, transmitting national defense information and theft of public property or records.
He could receive a sentence of up to life, if convicted.
Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, filed a motion last August to dismiss the counts based on a claim, Manning says, of illegally harsh treatment while held at the brig at the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia.
He was held there from July 2010 until he was moved to the military prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, in April 2011, according to Jeff Paterson, a spokesman for the Bradley Manning Support Network.
Manning is expected to take the stand later this week to testify about his detention.
Before the start of Tuesday's proceedings, about a dozen people protested outside Ft. Meade. When the hearing began, about 30 Manning supporters, many wearing shirts that read "Truth," were inside the courtroom or a nearby trailer where they followed the proceedings on closed circuit television.

- Looks great
Best Uses
After purchasing one at a home improvement store, thinking they are all alike...well, I learned my lesson. These not only look nice in our home, they really do their job and catch everything! We have brand new hardwood floors, this item has helped keep my floors nice! (Mud, dirt, etc) I purchased the med. brown and it doesn't look industrial, hides dirt and mud, however, we have a yellow lab and a red heeler and I have noticed you can see fur if not vacuumed at lease once a week.
I am pleased with my purchase!
- Absorbs Water
- Rough Surface Traps Sand
Best Uses
I bought the medium size rug to use in our garage. It fits nicely lengthwise in front of the steps leading to the sunroom. This entrance gets heavy use and I've noticed a marked improvement in the tracking in of snow, salt and sand this winter. The best of all possible worlds would be everyone taking their shoes off in the garage but until that happens I've found this rug to be an attractive alternative. It's heavy, doesn't slide or trip people so much better than anything else I have had there over the years.
- Absorbent
- Size Mis-advertised
Best Uses
The actual size is 32" x 57" - not 35" x 58" as advertised on the web site. We were annoyed by this because the 35" would completely cover the door opening, but the 32" does not. I know it's only 3 inches, but that 3 inches makes a difference - aesthetically as much as functionally for us.
Other than that, we love everything else about it.
- Aesthetically Pleasing
- Durable
- Stops Dirt And Moisture
Best Uses
I love this doormat, which I have in the mudroom. Unfortunately it slides on the linoleum, so I would prefer that it be less mobile. But it is durable and stops the mud and moisture as described. I also have the smaller doormat size and the half round size at other doors and on other floor types. The half round is on low-pile carpet and it slides, too. However, the smaller doormat size is on a hardwood floor and is fantastic - no sliding. I'm sure all three sizes have the same backing, so the sliding must have to do with floor type.
- Easy To Vacum Clean
- I Have Two Rugs
- Rug Makes Pleasant Entry
Best Uses
- Kitchen Entryways Clean
I bought one rug for my entry. I liked its appearance and easy care, so I bought another one to fill the length of the entry. They work great.
- Does Not Slide
- good color
- Low profile
- Quality material
Best Uses
- Entry Doorway
- Mudroom
We use this rug at the entry doorway. The door does not drag on the rug (we have had trouble finding one). It helps control the water and mud that gets tracked into the house. The rug does not slide on the floor when the dogs run in. It is a great color and the leaf design is very attractive.
The larger size and hefty texture make it so much more useful at the front door, and the fact that it stays put is a big plus. The color is good, although I thought it might be a little lighter brown--more of a camel color.

An analysis in the January 2013 issue of Consumer Reports magazine revealed 69 percent of pork chops and ground pork that the organization sampled from around the U.S. tested positive for Yersinia enterocolitica, a bacteria that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can result in fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Consumer Reports also found 3-7 percent of the samples harbored salmonella, staphylococcus aureus or listeria monocytogenes, other common pathogens for foodborne illness. Twenty-three percent of the samples contained none of the tested bacteria.
Of the 198 samples, the organization found other alleged complications with the "other white meat." The sampling also claims that some of the bacteria were resistant to typical antibiotics that are used to treat foodborne illnesses, such as amoxicillin, penicillin, tetracycline and streptomycin. Of the 132 samples with Yersinia enterocolitica, 121 of those were resistant to one or more antibiotics.
"The frequent use of low-dose antibiotics in pork farming may be accelerating the growth of drug-resistant 'superbugs' that threaten human health," said Consumer Reports.
The National Pork Board responded to the report in National Hog Farmer magazine. "We believe Consumer Reports has not accurately portrayed the safety and quality of pork products," said chief executive officer Chris Novak.
"Farms are a natural environment where bacteria are present, so farmers have invested millions of dollars in research to understand how antibiotics and other tools can help us produce a healthier, safer, product for consumers," added Steve Larsen, director of pork safety.
In a separate Consumer Reports sampling, one-fifth of 240 pork products contained traces of ractopamine, a controversial veterinary drug that promotes both growth and leanness in farm animals. Ractopamine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1999 for hogs, but it is banned in approximately 160 other countries - including China and the European Union.
Tested pork brands in the Consumer Report analysis include:
- Angelo Caputo's
- Bashas'
- Bristol Farms
- Butera
- Denmark
- Dominick's
- Edmar
- El Toreo Market
- Farmer John
- Farmer John California Natural
- Farmland
- Food 4 Less
