UNHCR’s work in Luxembourg focuses on supporting authorities and organisations which work with refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless persons. UNHCR’s objective is to ensure that Luxembourgish legislation, asylum procedures, policies, and practices align with international protection standards. In addition, UNHCR raises awareness among the general public about the work of UNHCR and the situation of refugees in Luxembourg and elsewhere.
The UNHCR Representation for EU Affairs, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, The Netherlands and Portugal — based in Brussels and operating as a Multi-Country Office — covers Luxembourg and works with the EU to better protect refugees in the EU and globally through integrated policy, judicial engagement, advocacy, fundraising and communication efforts.
