asylum claims in 2012, a 28 per cent increase compared to 2011 (2,900 claims).
These are the highest levels on record
in both countries. Japan registered an
estimated 2,500 (12) new asylum applications (+36%), and the Republic of Korea
registered 1,100 claims (+13%) in 2012.
People seeking international protection in Japan were predominantly from
Turkey and Myanmar while Sri Lanka
and Pakistan were the main countries
of origin of asylum-seekers in the
Republic of Korea.
In North America, an estimated
103,900 new asylum applications were
submitted in 2012, a marginal increase of 3 per cent compared to 2011
(101,400 claims). The figures show a
divergent trend for Canada and the
United States of America. The former
registered 20,500 new applications,
19 per cent less than in 2011 (25,400),
while the latter recorded approximately
83,400 (13) claims, a 10 per cent increase
from 2011 (76,000). Although 2012 saw
the highest level in almost a decade
for this region, it is two thirds that of
2001, when close to 150,000 applications
in total were lodged in Canada and the
United States of America. n
Figures of Syrians registered in refugee camps and urban areas in Turkey are not included in this
report. Based on figures provided by the Government of Turkey, the total number of Syrians registered
in camps, in urban areas or those awaiting registration as at 8 March 2013 is 258,200.
The Government of Turkey estimates that there are 400,000 Syrians in the country
(see http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/country.php?id=224
http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/country.php?id=224).
11 These figures, provided by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship in Australia, do not
include asylum-seekers arriving by boat after 13 August 2012 who have not yet entered a refugee status
determination process, or been able to lodge a formal claim for protection.
12 Monthly asylum data for Japan is available from 2002. Figures for Japan are UNHCR estimates.
13 Estimated number of individuals based on the number of new cases (43,100) and multiplied by 1.4
to reflect the average number of individuals per case (Source: US Department of Homeland Security);
and the number of new defensive asylum requests lodged with the Executive Office of Immigration
Review (23,200 individuals).

(PPP) of a country reveals a different picture. Here, France and the United States
of America are the countries with the
highest number of asylum-seekers (6.5
and 6.2 applicants per capita each) compared to the national economy, followed
by Germany (5.2 applicants per capita),
Turkey (4.1 applicants per capita), and the
United Kingdom (3.7 applicants per capita)
[see Figure 4]. (17) n

In order to compare countries, the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) GDP is considered (Source: International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook
Database, October 2012; accessed 5 March 2013). Source for national populations: United Nations Population Division, World Population Prospects:
The 2010 Revision, New York, 2011.
16 For the purposes of this type of analysis, the number of asylum applications registered over a five-year period may account for some extreme fluctuations
in the values.
17 Among the 44 countries included in this report, the number of asylum-seekers per 1 USD GDP (PPP) per capita appears as rather modest when compared to
the burden some developing countries shoulder in receiving asylum-seekers. For instance, Kenya and Rwanda, two major countries receiving asylum-seekers with
20,100 and 17,100 applications respectively registered in 2012, received 11 and 12 asylum-seekers respectively per 1 USD GDP (PPP) per capita in 2012 only.

only continent to show a significant increase as a sourceregion of asylum applications in 2012 (+9%). By contrast, fewer
asylum-seekers from Africa requested
international protection in the 44 industrialized countries (-9%).
Out of the 40 main asylum-seeker
nationalities, a rise in 25 was registered during 2012 amounting to
58,800 claims. This is less than in 2011
when an increase was recorded for
32 asylum-seeker nationalities. Syrian
asylum-seekers accounted for more
than one quarter of this rise. A decline
was registered for 15 nationalities in
2012, resulting in a total of 24,200 claims
less than in 2011. Among the major
countries of origin of asylum-seekers,
significant increases were registered
from the Syrian Arab Republic (+191%),
Albania (+129%), Bosnia and Herzegovina
(+104%), and Georgia (+55%). Conversely, of
the 15 nationalities for which a decrease
was recorded in 2012 as compared to
2011, a drop of more than 20 per cent was
registered, including for asylum-seekers
from Cte dIvoire (-55%), Tunisia (-49%),
Ghana (-43%), and Armenia (-26%).
Afghanistan, the Syrian Arab Republic,
Serbia (and Kosovo: S/RES/1244 (1999)),
China, and Pakistan were the five top
source countries of asylum-seekers in the
44 industrialized countries in 2012. This

Despite the fact that Syrians constituted the second largest group of asylum-seekers
among industrialized countries in 2012, their number remains modest compared to the
number of Syrian refugees hosted by countries in the Middle East. On 6 March 2013,
UNHCR reported that a total of one million Syrian refugees had been registered or
were awaiting registration in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey.

This made China the fourth highestranking source country of asylumseekers among the 44 industrialized
countries. Similar to previous years,
the United States of America registered two-thirds of all Chinese asylum
applications (15,900). France was the
second largest recipient with 2,200
Chinese asylum requests, followed by
Canada (1,700 claims) and Australia
(1,100 claims) [see Figure 7].
With 23,200 applications submitted by asylum-seekers from Pakistan
in 2012, this figure is the highest on
record. The number increased by onefifth (+21%) compared to 2011 (19,100
claims) and more than doubled compared to 2010 (11,000 claims). This made
Pakistan the fifth highest source country of asylum-seekers in the industrialized world in 2012. The increase was
particularly significant in the United
Kingdom and Germany, the two main
destination countries. In the former,
close to 4,800 asylum applications were
registered, up 19 per cent from 4,000
the year earlier. In the latter, figures
went up by 34 per cent from 2,500
claims to more than 3,400 during the
same period. Among the 22 countries
registering 100 or more asylum claims
by Pakistani citizens in 2011, 15 reported
an increase.
The number of asylum-seekers recorded as originating from the Russian
Federation increased by one quarter
in 2012 (+26%), the highest since 2004
when some 30,500 claims were lodged.
Some 21,900 asylum-seekers were registered during the year in the 44 countries covered by this report. France
remained the prime destination with
5,300 asylum claims or one quarter of
all requests from the Russian Federation being lodged. Poland and Germany
also received a significant number
of asylum-seekers from the Russian
Federation with 4,900 and 3,200 claims
respectively. In both cases, the numbers
went up significantly compared to 2011
(+56% and +90% respectively).
