The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization dedicated to protecting the rights and well-being of refugees. Established in 1950, its mandate includes providing assistance to displaced persons, advocating for their rights, and seeking durable solutions such as resettlement, repatriation, or integration. UNHCR works in over 130 countries, providing refugees with food, shelter, education, and legal support. It also coordinates with governments and NGOs to respond to emergencies and build long-term solutions for those affected by conflict, persecution, and displacement.
