However, Malaysia is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and has no domestic or administrative framework that governs refugees and their rights. However, as of December 2014, there are almost 1500 refugees and asylum-seekers registered with UNHCR Malaysia. In Malaysia, refugees do not have access to fundamental rights including legal status, safe and lawful employment, formal education and equal protection of the law, and are at constant risk of arrest, detention and exploitation, that is the reason that AVEC want to support this venerable people.

AVEC’s refugee policy program assists refugees and asylum seekers to successfully navigate the UNHCR Refugee Status Determination (RSD) process, thereby improving their chances of living safely and moving freely in Malaysia. In addition to direct advocacy services, offers Know-Your- Options workshops to provide basic advocacy and practical information to help refugees navigate the RSD process and avail themselves of other legal protections that may prevent detention and deportation and help them acclimatize to life in Malaysia.
