The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a humanitarian and
non-political organization mandated by the United Nations to protect refugees, asylum-seekers and
stateless persons and help them find lasting solutions to their problems. UNHCR’s activities are based
on a framework of international refugee law and standards that includes the 1951 Convention relating
to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as well as an array of international and regional treaties
on human rights and humanitarian law. UNHCR works with States, civil society organizations, the legal
community, the media and other actors to ensure the protection of refugees and promote their
participation and integration in the economic, social, cultural and political life of their host society. For
a description of UNHCR’s work, please see http://www.unhcr.org.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Cyprus
