UNHCR Global Compact on Refugees

The UNHCR Global Compact on Refugees is a framework aimed at improving the lives of refugees and their host communities. Adopted in 2018, it promotes collective responsibility among countries to ensure refugees receive necessary support, including protection, assistance, and opportunities for education and work. The compact encourages nations to share the responsibility for hosting refugees more equitably, enhancing cooperation and resources among states and organizations. Its ultimate goal is to ensure that refugees can rebuild their lives with dignity while fostering understanding and solidarity in communities worldwide.
