UNHCR National Office for the Czech Republic

The UNHCR Office in Prague, Czech Republic, opened in 1992 in connection with Czechoslovakia's accession to the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol. Through its protection, programme, and public information activities, UNHCR's main objective is to support the government's efforts to establish a comprehensive, sustainable and self-reliant asylum system enabling the country to deal with asylum seekers in accordance with international norms.

The Office also focuses on the integration process of the recognised refugees. Through its Roma program, the Office pays special attention to Roma issues.
