Original data are, with minor exceptions, taken throughout from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR]'s published statistics.

 

  1. UK data throughout the presentation are of 'cases' (i.e., sometimes including dependants).
  2. 'NA' means 'not available'.
  3. This figure aggregates only the available individual-country totals.
  4. This figure is for the whole of 2000.
  5. This figure is for January-November 2000.
  6. This figure is based upon prorations as appropriate for the whole year 2000 but omits any estimate for Italy.
