The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is responsible for protecting and assisting refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) around the world. It was established in 1950 and works to ensure that refugees have access to basic human rights, including shelter, food, healthcare, and education. The UNHCR also seeks to find durable solutions for refugees, such as voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement in a third country.
