UNHCR was created as the world sought to pick up the pieces after the Second World War. In 1954, it became the first UN agency to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize \u2013 but it was soon facing new refugee emergencies and its mission expanded. Today, 70 years since its creation, UNHCR is needed more than ever.<\/h2>\n

UNHCR in the 1970s<\/h2>\n

UNHCR\u2019s operations expanded into Latin America, Africa and Asia. For example, the flight of 10 million Bengalis to India in 1971 was one of the 20th century\u2019s largest displacement emergencies and UNHCR acted as focal point for a vast relief operation. Another major exodus was sparked by the fall of Saigon to North Vietnam forces in 1975. An estimated 3 million people fled in the wake of the various conflicts in Indochina.<\/p>\n

UNHCR in 2020<\/h2>\n

The work of the UN Refugee Agency has never been more pressing and complex. Extreme poverty and climate change and their interrelation with wars and violence are changing the patterns of displacement. Only concerted international action and political will can resolve new and protracted conflicts and crises. Despite the challenges, UNHCR remains determined as ever to stay and deliver for people forced to flee their homes.<\/p>\n
