The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (U.N.H.C.R) was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. Its website is a powerful tool for those immigrants who are seeking asylum within European borders. When people navigate the site the first thing that they can spot is a central space devoted to pieces of news. In general, this information is focused on refugees´ personal stories, geographical descriptions of countries at war or specific activities that are carried out by O.N.H.C.R´s officials. Other sections of the webpage offer the possibility of learning about the institution´s main purposes, about the assistance and protection it offers and also specify the groups of people who may need help such as asylum-seekers, children and internally displaced civilians.
