Abstract
This research set out to examine the UNHCR’s response to the Liberian
refugee crisis. Data for the research was collected from secondary sources
alone. The study revealed that since the outbreak of the Liberian crisis, there
has been consistent displacement of people from their homes. While some
were internally displaced, others sought to take refuge outside their country.
Notable among countries that served as haven for Liberation refugees was
Guinea.
Significantly, in this refugee crisis, the United Nations High
Commission for Refugees UNHCR played a significant role in a number of
ways. It not also facilitated reintegration and resettlement of the refugees but
was also actively involved in providing welfare for the refugees. Going by
the Herculean task of managing and coordinating refugees which only the
UNHCR presently carry out, it was suggested in this study that more
international and non international organizations be involved in refugee
management.
