All facial images in Notices and Diffusions submitted by member countries are searched and stored in the facial recognition system, provided they meet the strict quality criteria needed for recognition. Participating member countries can also submit "search only" requests directly to the system, using the Biometric Hub, for example, to carry out a check on a person of interest at border crossings. The results are returned quickly to enable immediate follow-up action, and images are not recorded in the facial image database. 3, record 1, English, - facial%20image%20database

Todas las imágenes faciales contenidas en las notificaciones y difusiones que se publican a petición de los países miembros se consultan y almacenan en el sistema de reconocimiento facial, si cumplen los estrictos criterios de calidad necesarios para el reconocimiento. Los países miembros participantes también pueden solicitar que se realice una simple consulta en el sistema de reconocimiento facial, usando el Centro de Biometría, por ejemplo, para efectuar un control de personas de interés en un puesto fronterizo. En esos casos, los resultados se obtienen rápidamente para que se puedan tomar de inmediato las medidas necesarias.

A person is a refugee within the meaning of the 1951 Convention as soon as he fulfils the criteria contained in the definition. This would necessarily occur prior to the time at which his refugee status is formally determined. Recognition of his refugee status does not therefore make him a refugee but declares him to be one. He does not become a refugee because of recognition, but is recognized because he is a refugee. 2, record 8, English, - recognition%20of%20refugee%20status

If, on the other hand, an applicant, without good reason, insists on retaining a valid passport of a country of whose protection he is allegedly unwilling to avail himself, this may cast doubt on the validity of his claim to have well-founded fear.

Le statut de réfugié n'est pas réservé aux personnes qui sont membres d'un groupe politique, religieux ou d'autre groupe minoritaire. Bien que les membres de groupes minoritaires soient en pratique plus fréquemment exposés au risque d'être persécutés que ne le sont les personnes qui font partie de populations majoritaires, la seule exigence pour la reconnaissance du statut de réfugié est la démonstration qu'un motif conventionnel représente un facteur contribuant au risque d'être persécuté. 2, record 8, French, - reconnaissance%20du%20statut%20de%20r%C3%A9fugi%C3%A9
