GENEVA, July 21 (Xinhua) -- The UN refugee agency, UNHCR Online Vans Old Skool Leather Zip White , on Friday said it welcomes this week's launching of a Pakistan government program to register undocumented Afghans living in the country, estimated between 600,000 to one million.
"This significant step will help regularize the stay for many Afghans at a time when return to their home country may not be possible," said UNHCR spokesperson Duniya Aslam Khan.
Afghans registered under this new scheme will receive Afghan Citizen cards, providing them legal protection from arbitrary arrests Vans Old Skool Pro Black Gum Shoes Sale , detention or deportation under Pakistan's Foreigner's Act said the UNHCR.
"The citizen cards will allow Afghans to stay in Pakistan for the time being, until they can be issued documents, such as passports, by the Government of Afghanistan," said Khan.
The initiative will bring much needed relief for many Afghan families where some were registered refugees Wholesale Vans LXVI Old Skool Lite Black White , while others had no legal status.
UNHCR said the registration of undocumented Afghans follows three years of consultations between the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan and refugeed agency.
It forms part of Pakistan's Comprehensive Policy on the Repatriation and Management of Afghans, endorsed by its cabinet in February this year.
The plan includes: extending the validity of the Proof of Registration cards to some 1.4 million registered Afghans refugees until the end of 2017; a commitment to adopt a national refugee law; and a visa regime for different categories of Afghan refugees who have the Proof of Registration (PoR) cards.
The six-month registration programme began July 20 with the launch of a pilot in the country's capital Islamabad and the north-western city of Peshawar, which hosts the largest number of undocumented of Afghans.
The program is expected to be rolled out in all four provinces from Aug. 16.
Pakistan's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), Ministry of States and Frontier Regions and the Afghan Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation will oversee the project with support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and UNHCR.

MELBOURNE, July 20 (Xinhua) -- Australian researchers have developed a drug capable of reprogramming the immune system to fight cancer, it was announced on Thursday.
The landmark new therapy, developed by the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center, involves removing immune cells from the body to genetically enhance them before putting them back in the body to fight cancer.
The form of immunotherapy has previously been effective in fighting blood cancers but lead scientists Phillip Darcy and Paul Beavis found a way to improve its effectiveness against solid tumors for the first time.
Darcy said that the enhanced immune cells adidas stan smith australia , known as CAR T cells, have been ineffective against solid tumors which have been able to produce a metabolite called adenosine which destroys the cells.
Some tumors have even shown the ability to simply reverse the enhancements placed on the cells, making them revert to T cells which have little ability to combat the tumors.
"The suppressive tumour environment dampens down the ability of the immune cells so we needed to give the cells something extra to be able to work in those environments," Darcy told Australian media on Thursday.
Researchers successfully trialled a drug in mice that blocks the metabolite, allowing CAR T cells to effectively target tumors.
They are now planning to take the drug into phase one human trials.
"We are really excited by the results and the possibilities emerging from immunotherapy adidas superstar black australia ," Darcy said.
Todd Harper, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cancer Council Victoria, said he is excited about the drug "providing more targeted treatment with less side effects."

MOSCOW, May 19 (Xinhua) -- The new U.S. strike on Syrian government forces by the U.S.-led coalition undermines anti-terrorism efforts in the region, TASS cited a Russian official as saying Friday.
"The new U.S. strike on government troops in Syria is a continuation of Washington's non-constructive policy," said Leonid Slutsky, the head of the International Affairs Committee of the State Duma adidas superstar gold stripe australia , the lower chamber of the Russian parliament.
He said that the unilateral action undoubtedly hinders the negotiation process on a Syrian settlement and undermines anti-terrorism cooperation and coordination.
Russia supports the cease-fire in Syria while the United States weakens the effort fighting against terrorist groups, he added.
