Mission and objectives
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established on 14 December 1950 by the UN General Assembly and began its work on 01 January 1951. UNHCR’s primary mandate is to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of refugees and the Office continues to strive to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country.

UNHCR has been working closely with counterparts at the concerned departments from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Interior to enhance protection measures and prevent potential deportations of people we care for. UNHCR also provides people we care for with youth development and professional skills, including internship opportunities through partnerships. In addition, through RSD, learning and development, and community-based protection, UNHCR continues to pursue durable solutions like RST for refugees.
