Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda

UNHCR works with authorities in Antigua and Barbuda* to address the protection needs of detained asylum-seekers. Through targeted interventions, UNHCR supports efforts to secure their release and advocates for fair and humane treatment in line with international standards. These activities form part of broader regional work to strengthen asylum systems, improve access to documentation, and ensure the rights of displaced people are respected across the Caribbean.

*The operations in Antigua and Barbuda are coordinated by the Panama multi-country office.
