UNHCR is the United Nations Refugee Agency. Created in 1951 to resolve refugee problems remaining from the Second World War, it has grown into one of the largest international humanitarian agencies. UNHCR has twice been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its work. Today UNHCR has more than 7,000 staff members in over 120 countries around the world who are working to help more than 35 million refugees and displaced persons, and to resolve situations of statelessness.

Sixty years after the establishment of the UNHCR, refugees fleeing war or persecution remain central to the agency's mission. However, UNHCR also assists those displaced within their own countries and addresses the challenges faced by stateless individuals--people without citizenship in any nation. This book provides an updated overview of UNHCR's efforts with these three groups, reflecting developments since 2006. It features eight chapters that highlight key challenges, beginning with the shrinking space for humanitarian action in regions like Somalia and Afghanistan. Prolonged conflicts hinder refugee returns, while restrictive state policies limit local integration and resettlement options, jeopardizing the institution of asylum. Additionally, increasing numbers of people are displaced internally due to climate change, natural disasters, conflict, and human rights violations. Many refugees now reside in urban areas rather than camps, complicating outreach efforts. Statelessness persists globally, affecting millions and leaving them in precarious situations. The concluding chapter emphasizes the need for international solidarity to support states in fulfilling their responsibilities towards the forcibly displaced. Case studies from UNHCR's fieldwork illustrate these issues. Now in its sixth edition, this resource is essential for academics, practitioners, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in international politic.
