Mission and Objectives
Our primary purpose at UNHCR is to safeguard the rights and well-being of people who have been forced to flee. Together with partners and communities, we work to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country. We also strive to secure lasting solutions.
For over half a century, UNHCR has helped millions of people to restart their lives. They include refugees, returnees, stateless people, the internally displaced and asylum-seekers. Our protection, shelter, health and education has been crucial, healing broken pasts and building brighter futures.
Mission and objectives
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution.

UNHCR also promotes the effective integration of recognized refugees into host societies or their resettlement when it is not possible for them to remain in the country that granted them refugee status. In line with its mandate, the UN Refugee Agency also plays an active role in assessing the statelessness situation in the region and the protection of stateless people.
