Mission and objectives

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country. It also has a mandate to help stateless people. In more than six decades, the agency has helped tens of millions of people restart their lives. Today, a staff of some 7,685 people in more than 125 countries continues to help some 33.9 million persons. The Global Learning Centre of UNHCR (GLC) manages and coordinates professional learning for UNHCR staff in several functional areas. The GLC strives to use innovative tools and approaches in adult learning, including various forms of distance learning. In particular, the GLC is seeking the options for creative solutions and learning products for computer-based education (e-learnings).
