Abstract
Since its founding in 1950, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has rendered invaluable services and assistance to millions of refugees throughout the world. Indeed, in recognition of its services, it has twice been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. However, the “entirely non-political character” of its work has been interpreted as precluding it from actively seeking solutions to the generation of refugees, particularly when the responsibilities of source countries are involved. The UNHCR is debarred altogether from concerning itself with the Palestinian refugees, even though the role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which was created specifically to aid them, is considerably narrower than that of the UNHCR vis-à-vis other refugees.
