The world's refugee phenomenon attracted oscillating levels of interest from governments as early as the inter-war era. Only with the establishment of UNHCR a half-century ago, however, did governments reluctantly acknowledge that managing the refugee phenomenon required an institutional structure and a genuine, continuous, multilateral effort by the international community. Since the founding of UNHCR, its role, operational approach, and, according to some observers, even its mandate have changed remarkably. Governments, frequently wavering in their support for these modifications, have at least begrudgingly endorsed UNHCR's efforts in order to limit the spread of political instability, which too often resulted in regional economic turmoil and widespread despair. This paper analyzes how effectively and at what political and fiscal cost UNHCR has dealt with intensifying refugee flows in light of shifting priorities of governments, themselves the policy and budgetary masters of this UN body. To achieve this, the reasons behind UNHCR's expanded responsibilities are identified, the agency's important advocacy work is analyzed, and its expanded role and constantly altering operational approach are examined. Despite the innumerable obstacles that have confronted the agency over the past half century, the conclusions suggest that at least partial success has been achieved. ; Dès les années d'inter guerres, le phénomène des réfugiés dans le monde a commencé à susciter l'intérêt oscillant des gouvernements nationaux. Cependant, ce n'est qu'avec la mise sur pied du HCR – il y a de cela un demi-siècle – que les gouvernements ont été amenés à reconnaître, un peu malgré eux, que la tâche de s'occuper du phénomène des réfugiés nécessitait une structure institutionnelle ainsi qu'un effort multilatéral, continue et sérieux, de la part de la communauté internationale. Depuis sa fondation, le rôle du HCR, son approche opérationnelle et, selon certains observateurs, son mandat même, ont changé de manière très nette. Les ...

Africa remains the continent with the greatest number of refugees. All over the continent, refugees arrive in countries facing their own development problems and difficulties; they are, nevertheless, received with generosity and hospitality, in line with deep-rooted traditions that have remained alive thoughout the turmoil of events.I cannot but emphasize once more, at the outset of this gathering, my profound appreciation for this approach of African governments and peoples to the refugee problem. This attitude brings considerable relief to the plight of the refugees and is an example to the world; it is also an ever-present asset in our relationship with the governments and in our co-operation with the Organization of African Unity, the multiple aspects of which are being constantly developed and reinforced in the most positive humanitarian spirit.
