The UNHCR works with governments and partners to strengthen laws and systems, and to help provide services that ensure displaced people can access education, work, health care, and documentation.
The UN ensures fair and efficient hearings, helps asylum seekers access treatment and support, and advocates against detention.
Its main purpose is to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of refugees. It aims to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and to find safe refuge in another country, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or resettle in a third country.
