8. UNHCR operation in Morocco

Morocco is party to the 1951 Convention since 1956, to its 1967 Protocol since 1971 and to the Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa since 1969.

Morocco had a national asylum system, operational between 1957 and 2004. The legal basis of this system was the Royal Decree n 2-57-1256 establishing the modalities of application of the 1951 Convention. This decree provided UNHCR with a specific role in terms of refugee status determination (RSD) and appeal. UNHCR fulfilled this role through an honorary delegation from 1965 to 2004 until the application of the decree has been suspended.

Between 2004 and 2013, UNHCR has ensured asylum procedures (including documentation) and protection interventions. In July 2007, UNHCR signed an Accord de Si gewith the Kingdom of Morocco that provided UNHCR with a full-fledged diplomatic representation and enabled the organisation to establish formal partnership relations with actors of Moroccan society.

2013 will remain as a pivotal year for asylum in the country. Following the recommendations for a renewed asylum and migration policy made by the Conseil national des Droits de l Homme(CNDH) and the subsequent directives given by H.M. the King Mohamed VI to the Government to implement a migration policy, humane and respectful of Morocco s international commitments vis- -vis fundamental rights of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, the way is open for an effective hand-over of asylum procedures from UNHCR to Moroccan authorities.

In 2013, the Government officially re-opened the Bureau des Refugi s et des Apatrides(BRA), still on the legal basis provided by the 1957 Royal Decree, and started to proceed to the regularization of refugees recognized by UNHCR. The same day, an ad hoccommittee has started to review the cases of UNHCR recognized refugees. UNHCR is a member of the reviewing committee, along with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Labour and D l gation interminist rielle aux Droits de l Homme.

In September 2013, His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, upon the recommendation of the National Council for Human Rights (NCHR), launched a new migration and asylum policy for the Kingdom. This has laid the ground for a gradual transfer of responsibility to the government by UNHCR including registration of asylum-seekers and refugee status determination (RSD). In 2016, UNHCR commented on the third version of the draft asylum law. Overall, the text is in line with key international standards for refugee protection. Pending the submission of the draft law to Parliament, the Government has initiated a regularisation process of refugees recognized under UNHCR s mandate.

It is expected that Morocco will have its asylum system functional in the upcoming years. UNHCR will contribute to its development through provision of legal expertise and on-the-job training.

Recent trends:

• Number of refugees: 4,986 (68% Syrians), number of asylum seekers: 1,928
• The number of refugees registered with UNHCR increased by 206% in 2015
• It increased by 22% in 2016
• The duration of the stay of refugees in Morocco increases
• The number of localities where refugees are settling in Morocco increases
• These indicators demonstrate that Morocco, which still is a country of transit, is also becoming a host country for refugees.

In a mixed-migration context (refugees and economic migrants), the role of UNHCR is to support the Government in the establishment of a national asylum system. The UNHCR strategy for 2017 therefore consists of:

• Carrying registration and RSD procedures, jointly with the authorities
• Providing humanitarian assistance and protection to refugees, in support to the national strategy for immigration and asylum (SNIA)
• Building institutional capacity for those national actors involved in the area of asylum, and
• Implementing durable solutions for refugees, focusing on socio-professional integration, resettlement to a third country for the most vulnerable and repatriation wherever feasible.
