© UNHCR

Our dedicated staff work in 130 countries around the world, from major capitals to remote and often dangerous locations.

Wherever refugees arrive, we work closely with governments to ensure the 1951 Refugee Convention is honoured.

Just over seven per cent of staff are based at our Geneva headquarters. Along with the Global Service Centres in Budapest, Copenhagen and Amman, these people provide support for the rest of UNHCR, including key administrative functions. A massive 87 per cent of staff are based in the field, assisting the most vulnerable victims of displacement. 

Together, as a team, they work hard to help the world's displaced.
