O pozici
UNHCR has been present in the Czech Republic since 1991, supporting the national authorities on refugee-related issues. In line with its international protection mandate, supervisory role over the 1951 Refugee Convention, and expertise in International Refugee Law, UNHCR contributes to legislative and policy development by providing expert analysis, formulating recommendations and legal opinions, and supporting strategic litigation where indicated. These efforts aim to strengthen advocacy and deliver technical expertise that reinforces the Czech Republic’s legal protection framework. This includes promoting fair and efficient procedures related to international protection; improving access to national social protection services; and facilitating socio-economic inclusion.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, more than 600,000 refugees from Ukraine have applied and were granted temporary protection in the Czech Republic.
