The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Ruven Menikdiwela, recently concluded a five-day visit to South Africa.
During her visit, Menikdiwela met with Dr. Mike Masiapato and his team, the Commissioner of the Border Management Authority, to assure them of UNHCR’s support in managing borders while respecting the rights of individuals seeking asylum. While South Africa has taken steps to address the influx of foreign nationals through policy frameworks like the White Paper, Menikdiwela emphasised that withdrawing from the Refugee Convention would not provide immediate solutions.
