UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Model UN
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, was created by the General Assembly in 1950 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1954 and 1981. Its work rests on the 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines who is a refugee. In Model UN delegates represent states, as member states do on the real Executive Committee that approves UNHCR's programmes and budget.
