Switzerland for UNHCR

UNHCR stands for UN Refugee Agency. UNHCR is the mandated international organization for refugee protection. As part of the United Nations, UNHCR works to ensure that people fleeing conflict, persecution and human rights abuses find asylum in other states and receive protection. Beyond emergency relief, UNHCR works to provide refugees with sustainable solutions for a better future. UNHCR is active in over 132 countries around the world and supports internally displaced persons, those seeking asylum and stateless persons, in addition to refugees.
