UN High Commissioner for Refugees

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a United Nations agency dedicated to protecting and assisting refugees and displaced persons worldwide. Founded in 1950, its main mission is to ensure that everyone has the right to seek asylum and find safety from persecution or conflict. The UNHCR provides vital support, including shelter, food, and education, and advocates for the rights of refugees. It works with governments and organizations to promote durable solutions, such as voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement in third countries.
