Today's date: Effective Action Against Intimidation Sarajevo, 9 March 2004 - The increasingly frequent appearance of posters depicting persons indicted for war crimes (PIFWCs) displayed in public places in the RS and the recent rash of hate-inciting graffiti in Srebrenica is a matter of deep concern to the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees, the Office of the High Representative, the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the European Union Police Mission and the Organization for Security and Co-operation (MHRR, OHR, UNHCR, EUPM and OSCE). When such posters appeared in Brcko District, the police dealt with the matter quickly and effectively. The suspected perpetrators were identified within 24 hours and the prosecutor subsequently filed charges. In Zvornik, a van displaying pictures of PIFWCs has circulated freely on a number of occasions in recent weeks. Hate-inciting graffiti have also appeared in Srebrenica, which can only renew painful, terrible memories of events of the past war.

6. Office Of The United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees - History Of Organiz office of the united nations high commissioner for refugees – Historyof Organization*. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner http://www.nobel.se/peace/laureates/1954/refugees-history.html

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was originally established by the General Assembly of the United Nations for a three-year period from January 1, 1951, to December 31, 1953, but it has since been voted successive five-year extensions through 1958, 1963, 1968, and 1973. Within the framework of the United Nations, the UNHCR superseded the International Refugee Organization (IRO), 1947-1952, which had in its turn taken over the refugee work of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), 1943-1947. With headquarters in Geneva and at present some thirty branch offices situated in strategic spots throughout the world in addition to special representatives and correspondents, UNHCR is not a specialized agency but an integral part of the UN, its High Commissioner being nominated by the Secretary-General and elected by the General Assembly. The UN provides administrative expenses and extends to the High Commissioner permission to obtain appropriations for current programs from individual governments and to accept contributions from private sources. The funding target for any given year is determined by the Executive Committee upon recommendation of the High Commissioner whose budget varies in response to the needs of the time. Special programs are specially financed. For example, early in the 1950's the Ford Foundation provided a grant of about $3,000,000 (increased to about $8,000,000 with matching funds from other sources) to carry out pilot projects in the economic integration of refugees in Austria, Germany, France, and Trieste, and on the resettlement of refugees in Latin America, Canada, and Australia.

8. Office Of The United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees - History Of Organiz office of the united nations high commissioner for refugees – Historyof Organization. UNHCR was established by the United Nations http://www.nobel.se/peace/laureates/1981/refugees-history.html

UNHCR was established by the United Nations General Assembly on 1 January 1951, for a three-year period and has been renewed since for successive five-year periods. An integral part of the United Nations, the High Commissioner follows policy directives from the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council. The current High Commissioner is Ms Sadako Ogata of Japan. UNHCR has provided international protection for refugees by maintaining their right of asylum and seeking to prevent any forced return to the country from which they have fled. UNHCR works for voluntary repatriation and when this is not possible, integration within the first country of asylum or resettlement elsewhere. In With the end of the Cold War, many refugees were repatriated to countries in Africa and Asia where conflicts which had been fueled by that struggle came to an end. This produced a new problem, however, the need to assist returnees who had spent over a decade away to reintegrate into home communities whose social and economic infrastructure in many cases had been destroyed. Despite the success of the Namibia operation, of the 45,000 former refugees who returned to Namibia in 1989, for example, 90 per cent of them were unemployed one year later, and by 1991 the figure was still 75 per cent. It was clear that just meeting the goal of repatriation was not enough, and in such cases the General Assembly has directed UNHCR to provide humanitarian assistance and promote social reintegration.

OFFICE OF THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES Did you know that... • There are nearly 23 million refugees in the world, which equals the combined populations of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. • Eighty per cent of refugees are women and children, and hundreds of thousands of them go to sleep hungry every night. • Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud and Rudolf Nureyev were all refugees who, along with many others, later became famous and left their individual mark on history. It was a nightmare An anonymous Rwandan woman remembers her ordeal in central Africa. "How can I ever forget the scene where my husband was massacred right in my presence. It was a nightmare. It was a nightmare. I live through it every day and it is engraved forever in my memory". My sister disappeared Amra Radic is a young Bosnian girl who lives in the mountains of Switzerland. "When I was very young, I lived in a small Bosnian village. Bosnia was beautiful. Better than anywhere else. But the war broke out and I saw many people killed. Houses were set on fire. My father and sister, Elma, went to my grandfather's house but the soldiers came to the village and killed people. My mother tried to reach Elma but there was an explosion at the bridge and my mother couldn't reach her. We eventually came to Switzerland but we don't know where Elma, who is now nine years old, is". UNHCR assists more than twenty two million people who have fled war or persecution in Africa, Asia and in the heart of Europe where several million people were uprooted in the Balkans in the continent's biggest refugee crisis in 50 years.

Nobel PEACE Prize Winners United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Office of the (UNHCR), organization established as the successor to the International Refugee Organization by the UN General Assembly on Jan. 1, 1951, to provide legal and political protection for refugees until they could acquire nationality in new countries of residence. (see also International Refugee Organization With its main office in Geneva and branch offices situated in important countries of asylum, the UNHCR intervenes with the various national governments in order to ensure such minimal rights as freedom from arbitrary expulsion, access to the courts, the right to work and to educational opportunities, and possession of identity and travel documents. Financed primarily by voluntary governmental contributions, the UNHCR also provides social and economic aid. The UNHCR initially focused its efforts on aiding refugees and displaced persons in Europe after World War II. In later decades effort was shifted to resettling refugees who were the victims of war, political turmoil, or natural disasters in Africa and parts of Asia and Latin America. The UNHCR was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice, in 1954 and 1981.
