1 INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTOR Caribbean Relations Associate - Caribbean Protection Unit August December 2016 UNHCR Regional Representation Washington DC, USA Terms of Reference Operational Context The Caribbean region is confronted with an increasingly complex phenomenon of mixed migration that involves asylum-seekers, refugees, victims of human trafficking and stateless persons, along with other categories of migrants. The States and territories in the Caribbean themselves are source, destination and transit countries for thousands of individuals crossing an international border, including persons in need of international protection, each year. The region is also a gateway for refugees and asylum-seekers trying to reach North America within larger groups of migrants by land, air and sea and has recently witnessed a sharp rise in the number of extra-continental arrivals, in particular from Syria. The Caribbean context, while extremely diverse, is characterized by the absence of systematic protection-sensitive entry and referral mechanisms, ineffective protection screening mechanisms, and nascent or non-existent government asylum procedures. As a result, only a relatively small number of persons of concern are being identified and registered as asylum-seekers, out of a much larger volume of vulnerable migrants moving through the Caribbean. There are also insufficient practical and legal measures in place to safeguard the effective application of the principle of nonrefoulement. Meanwhile, the wide geographical dispersion of refugees, throughout small Caribbean islands and coastal States, pose particular logistical challenges for UNHCR in identifying and addressing their protection needs and achieving durable solutions. With large numbers of movements of persons into and across the Caribbean being undertaken in unseaworthy vessels, critical incidents and deaths at sea have been on the rise. 1 Incidents often go unreported and, in the absence of a comprehensive data collection system, the actual extent of the problem is likely even greater than suggested by the numbers. Many governments in the Caribbean implement mandatory or blanket administrative detention, as a first-response to all individuals with irregular migration status, regardless of vulnerability or protection 1 The number of irregular migrants in the Caribbean traveling by sea has steadily increased over the years. Maritime incidents have been reported on an almost daily basis. In 2015, the Caribbean Protection Unit recorded 202 maritime incidents (as compared to 152 reported incidents in 2014), involving a total of 5041 persons. During this period of time, 26 deaths and 26 missing persons were reported. These incidents included 2603 Cuban nationals (51% of persons involved), 1776 Haitian nationals (35% of persons involved), and 309 Dominican nationals (6%). During the US fiscal year 2015 the number of Cuban individuals who attempted to migrate to United States by sea has increased by 111% from fiscal year The sea routes are however only one dimension of the mixed migration phenomenon in the region. The majority of persons in need of international protection are traveling by air or uses a combination of means of travel. This is increasingly the case since early 2014, when as a result of the changes in the migration regime Cubans have been able to leave their country by air without serious restrictions. The same is the case for the increasing arrivals of asylum-seekers from outside the Americas, such as Syrians, and nationals from diverse African and Asian countries.

2 needs. Detention centres are often overcrowded and lack appropriate conditions of hygiene and security. In some cases, irregular migrants are held together with criminals. This, together with a lack of a sufficiently explicit and detailed legal framework and access to competent legal representation, in addition to scarce information on detention practice, and few mechanisms to review the lawfulness of detention, often results in arbitrary and or prolonged detention in conditions that fall far below international minimum standards. Despite its magnitude, this problem has remained largely invisible due to the absence of systematic detention monitoring. At the same time, during visits to several detention facilities, UNHCR identified numerous cases in need of international protection. However, some positive developments are emerging, with several Caribbean countries gradually introducing alternatives to detention. The adoption of the Brazil Plan of Action set in motion commitments to create a regional consultative process in the Caribbean. In 2015, UNHCR and IOM held bilateral consultations with a number of countries and identified champions that confirmed their interest and support for the creation of such a mechanism for the Caribbean. In order to begin this process, UNHCR organized a preparatory meeting for the Caribbean in Belize City in January 2016, with the participation of Aruba, The Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. This led to the creation of the Caribbean Migration Consultations (CMC). During the second half of 2016, 25 countries from across the Caribbean will be invited to the first substantive meeting of the CMC to be held in Trinidad and Tobago. The overall intent of the meeting will be to create a regional forum and develop a coordinated approach to mixed migration management. More specifically, this meeting aims to establish a Caribbean Information Management Centre for regional data collection and information sharing. Another goal will be to create systematic Migration Policy Consultations, which can lead to periodic meetings of Chief Immigration Officers. Together with IOM, UNHCR will provide technical support for the CMC. The further development of this new forum for dialogue in the Caribbean will also provide the opportunity to promote a stronger human rights based approach to mixed migration in the region and to help enhance reception capacities, including through the application of alternatives to detention. The CMC will also be a valuable platform to advance other key protection goals, such as the establishment of functioning asylum systems and the promotion of comprehensive durable solutions (local integration). This will be pursued by developing effective solidarity-sharing mechanisms in the region with a view to enhancing safeguards to prevent refoulement (including through bilateral and multilateral agreements), ensuring proper screening and referral mechanisms, providing enhanced reception conditions, as well as access to asylum procedures for all persons who may be in need of international protection. This will involve targeted capacity-building, as well as the development of tools and monitoring of practices of States in the management of mixed migratory flows. The inclusion of refugee protection as one of the three main strands of the CMC will present new opportunities to promote international refugee protection standards, for example through the presentation of a model refugee law for the Caribbean, through the sharing of good eligibility practices and the introduction of a new methodology of the Quality Assurance Initiative adjusted to emerging asylum systems in the region. Furthermore, the creation of a Caribbean Asylum Support Office will be considered to provide additional capacity on a regional basis, not only to promote common approaches but also to respond to the needs in countries that will not develop a full-fledged asylum system. In this sense, the partnership that UNHCR is currently developing with the CARICOM Implementing Agency for Crime and Security based in Port of Spain could help to support these efforts and contribute to the consolidation of the CMC.

3 The successful organization of the Caribbean Partners Network conference in Aruba in May 2015 and the more proactive engagement by the Red Cross partners on issues related to the protection of persons of concern to UNHCR, has also generated the need for the Caribbean Protection Unit to enhance its outreach and to share information (statistical data, policy developments, information on main countries of origin, Caribbean newsletter etc.) in a more systematic and organized manner. The incorporation of the Caribbean in the protection framework of the wider Americas is providing new opportunities for capacity-building and exchanges across the region. Among the tangible results is the organization of more regional events in the Caribbean or with the participation of Caribbean representatives. The demands on the CPU to provide the necessary logistical support have therefore also increased. The CMC will demand government outreach, strategic engagement on great familiarity with the region, substantive knowledge, and logistical organization. Additionally, the Annual UNHCR Regional Course on Refugee Protection and Statelessness will be held for the second consecutive time in the Caribbean in The event is scheduled to take place in June in Trinidad &Tobago. Other regional conferences are also expected to be held this year, such as the Alternatives to Detention workshop, which will not only require logistical, but substantial government outreach in order to have adequate participation. Clearly, the demands on the CPU to provide the necessary support for such regional conferences have increased. Towards that effect, it would be important to contract the services of an UNOPS Caribbean Relations Assistant with expertise in the field of asylum/migration and familiarity of the Caribbean region to provide substantive support on mixed migration issues and the preparation of regional updates, as well as logistical support for all major regional conferences and training events for the Caribbean. UNHCR Washington intends to contract a UNOPS Caribbean Relations Assistant as of 1 August The related costs will be covered by the CPU OPS budget.
