Description

UNHCR’s supervisory responsibility is exercised in part by the issuance of interpretative guidelines on the meaning of provisions and terms contained in international refugee instruments, in particular the 1951 Convention. UNHCR also fulfils its supervisory responsibility by providing comments on legislative and policy proposals impacting the protection and durable solutions of its persons of concern.

On 16 December 2024, the Egyptian Government promulgated the Asylum Law for Foreigners No. 164-2024. This document includes the comments provided by UNHCR to this Law.
