Denmark

Denmark supports refugee protection through strong legal frameworks, international cooperation, and sustained contributions to UNHCR’s global and regional efforts.

UNHCR’s Representation for the Nordic and Baltic Countries covers Denmark, as well as Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The office is located in Stockholm and maintains liaison offices in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

UNHCR’s work in Denmark focuses on implementing international legal standards on asylum and statelessness, ensuring that refugees and asylum-seekers have access to protection, rights, and essential services.

Denmark is a key partner in UNHCR’s efforts to protect refugees and stateless people worldwide. With a long-standing commitment to humanitarian principles, Denmark supports the development of innovative solutions, promotes international protection standards, and contributes flexible, predictable funding to UNHCR’s operations globally.

Denmark collaborates closely with national institutions, civil society, and international actors to strengthen legal safeguards, expand durable solutions such as education, and address root causes of displacement.
