Synergies
UNHCR - ACNUR
Since the late 1960s, UNHCR has had a Representation in Spain whose mandate is to ensure international respect and protection for refugees, displaced persons and asylum seekers. To this end, it has a legal, communication and external relations team that works with governments, NGOs and entities, providing advice, training and promoting resettlement programmes, family reunification and integration of refugees in Spain.
