About UNHCR in China & Contacts

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, works to ensure that everyone who has fled violence, persecution or war can be protected. UNHCR promotes and protects the rights of refugees, including their right not to be returned to a country or territory where their lives, integrity and/or freedom are at risk.

If you fear you will be harmed if you return to your country of origin, you can apply for asylum by registering your claim with UNHCR.  

ALL services provided by UNHCR are FREE of charge
