UNHCR
1 articleUNHCR is the United Nations agency responsible for refugee protection and support to asylum systems and displaced populations. In Maghreb Insider coverage, the tag connects to Sahrawi refugee contexts, displacement from Sudan and the Sahel, asylum conditions in Libya and cross-border protection needs. Reporting follows registration, protection, assistance and institutional responses to forced displacement, while keeping UNHCR distinct from the broader migration-management role of IOM.
