All countries who are party members of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees are responsible for conducting Refugee Status Determinations (RSD). In order to facilitate this process, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) assists countries in establishing fair and efficient procedures of RSD by providing training, attending hearings, registering asylum-seekers, and supporting in writing asylum laws (UNHCR, 2005).
