Intern Orientation: UNHCR Activity

Interns participate in an activity designed to simulate the difficult decision-making process of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The UNHCR decides which refugees will be referred for resettlement and who must stay behind. (Less than one per cent of refugees get the opportunity to resettle to third countries.)
