Mission & Functions

The mission of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is to ensure that “all persons have the right to seek asylum and find safe haven in another State, with the option to eventually return home, integrate or resettle.This right allows for the satisfaction of basic needs, such as access to decent housing, adequate food, drinking water, among other rights inherent to the individual that should be guaranteed in the States of origin, but are limited by various problems or conflicts such as war, violence, persecution, as well as irreconcilable family problems.

Commitment

With the expansion of UNHCR’s activities worldwide, and to IDPs as well as international IDPs, the number of people of concern to UNHCR has increased considerably since its inception, while the complexity of the problem of forced displacement has increased.
