Refugee, Asylum Seeker & Migrant Humanitarian Protection Unit
Protecting refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants from exploitation, refoulement, and rights violations.
Unit Mission
The Refugee, Asylum Seeker & Migrant Humanitarian Protection Unit protects refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants from exploitation, refoulement, and rights violations — providing legal assistance, advocacy, and operational protection to people who have been forced to flee their homes. The unit applies refugee law, migration protection, and humanitarian response to ensure that displaced people can access asylum procedures, receive protection from refoulement, and have their rights respected throughout the displacement cycle.
Key Functions
