본 보고서는 난민은 누구이며 이에 따른 유엔난민기구(UNHCR)의 역할은 무엇인지를 설명한다. 이와 같은 난민들을 어떤 방식으로 어떻게 구제해야 하는지를 주로 다루고 있는 UNHCR의 주요 발간물이다.  

This booklet, produced by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), addresses some commonly asked questions. Who qualifies as a refugee and what rights do they enjoy? Who is an asylum-seeker, an IDP, a stateless person, or a migrant? What is UNHCR, and how has its role evolved in legally and physically helping and protecting these vulnerable groups, alongside governments and humanitarian partners?
