Where We Work

Our dedicated personnel work in 134 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 ten per cent of our personnel 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. Nearly 90 per cent of our workforce is based in the field, assisting the most vulnerable victims of displacement. 

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