Descripción: UNHCR.
«An important part of each World Refugee Day celebration is the Nansen Refugee Award ceremony which is held on this special day. Formerly known as the Nansen Medal, this almost fifty-year-old prize is named after the Norwegian arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who was appointed in 1921 by the UN's predecessor, the League of Nations, to be the very first High Commissioner for Refugees.
The Award, consisting of a medal and a $100,000 monetary prize, is given out yearly to a person or group who excels in supporting refugee causes.»
