The Aliens Control Act (1966) deals with treatment of refugees in Lesotho and provides that non-citizens may seek temporary refuge. The Refugee Act (1983) provides protection of a refugee child within the borders of Lesotho and grants refugee status to all family members. The CPW Act affords protections to refugee children as it does not discriminate as to a child's origin. Where a child cannot be repatriated in terms which are in their best interests, they will be given expedited naturalisation. The Anti-TIP Act (2011) requires that victims be returned to Lesotho. Administrative Lesotho has a Disaster Management Authority Policy governing procedures in the cases of natural and man-made disasters and evacuation procedures. Red Cross Lesotho provides disaster relief aid in situations such as these. Beautiful Dream Society provides advocacy and shelter for human trafficking victims. Progress Lesotho has successfully placed several child refugees and their families from Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Difficulties In the limited instances of trafficking the government Ministries responsible claim they have not the resources to return a child to their home following trafficking. Even foreign Embassies where the trafficking victim has come from offer very little assistance in the victims return. 9.2 Children in armed conflicts including specific measures taken to protect and provide care for the children (Article 22) Lesotho is not involved in armed conflict.
