The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization dedicated to protecting the rights and well-being of refugees and displaced persons. Established in 1950, its primary mission is to ensure that everyone has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country. UNHCR works to provide essential support, including shelter, food, and medical care, to those forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters.
UNHCR also advocates for durable solutions, such as voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement in a third country. The organization collaborates with governments, NGOs, and other partners to promote policies that protect refugees and uphold their rights. Through its efforts, UNHCR aims to create a world where every person can live in safety and dignity.
