The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was created in 1950, during the aftermath of the Second World War, to help millions of Europeans who had fled or lost their homes.
Today, over 70 years later, UNHCR still works hard , thus protecting and assisting refugees around the world.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) supervises the implementation of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol in North Macedonia and the measures taken to end statelessness and prevent it from reoccurring, in line with the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, which is signed by the Republic of North Macedonia.
The Academy and UNHCR have successful, continuous and ongoing cooperation.
