Following the Government of Pakistan’s announcement of a plan to deport undocumented Afghans, UNHCR is appealing to Pakistan to continue its protection of all vulnerable Afghans who have sought safety in Pakistan. UNHCR has offered its support to Pakistan in developing a mechanism to manage and register people in need of international protection on its territory and respond to particular vulnerabilities. UNHCR underscores that any refugee return must be voluntary without any pressure, to ensure protection for those seeking safety.
