UNHCR is the most important international entity in the global protection of refugees and other persons concerned. Although there are lots of references to UNHCR’s contemporary worldwide operations in the Turkish literature on the refugees, the literature lacks of works dedicated to the UNHCR’s itself. Due to this fact, this article aims to describe UNHCR under international legal materials. The article begins with the history of the creation of UNHCR. Then it examines UNHCR as a subsidiary organ of the UN and outlines its structural organization under its constitutive conventional foundations with its relations with EXCOM. In the article, responsibilities and duties of UNHCR will be listed according to its Statute and 1951 Refugee Convention. Finally, the role of UNHCR in the development and enforcement of international refugee law will be evaluated
