History of the Nansen Passport – UNHCR's first refugee passport
Australia for UNHCR
Description
The Nansen Passport was established after World War I by the League of Nations to give the millions of war refugees official recognition and a chance at a new life. It is the predecessor of the current UNHCR passport that people currently receive when they arrive at a refugee camp. The passport is named after Fridtjof Nansen, the first High Commissioner for Refugees. Watch more about Nansen and the Nansen Award: http://ow.ly/Cbn86
