The issue of refugee has been existing in the history for a long period, in recent years, due to endless occurrence of the regional conflicts, religious conflicts, terrorists activities etc., the crisis of refugees is increasingly getting severe and complicated. The world refugee tide has spreaded around Africa, Latin America and Europe, the reasons for causing the occurrence of the refugees are complicated, in which there are mainly politics or wars, racial conflicts, ideologies, religions and environmental disaster etc.The issue of refugees is one of the important issues faced by the current international society, it has not only harassed the countries producing the refugees, but also greatly influenced the adjoining regions and entire world which refugees poured into. In the present day when the mutual dependence and globalization constantly develop, the issue of refugees is no longer an issue of an individual country, but the global issue faced by the international society jointly. It should not only bring certain influence to the state sovereignty, but also it influence the aspects like national interests, economic development and the security of the international societies.The large numbers of the refugees should need the effective protection provided by the international society. In the practice of the refugee protection, the nation should play an extremely important role. The nation and refugees are indivisible, the initial responsibilities and final responsibilities for the refugee protection are still lie in the nation. The nation makes a judgement of the refugees, besides the nation should provide the space for the refugee protection and needed capital and human resources, the relevant legal guarantee. But the national refugee protection has many shortcomings. The nation needs to give prior consideration for the national interests of itself, due to the economic and political causes, it is difficult to maintain the promptness, political nature, and neutral features for the refugee protection. In order to thoroughly solve the issue for the refugees, the nation shall not only undertake the main responsibilities, but also need to cooperate with the other nations and international organizations.The international organization has been trying hard endlessly in terms of the refugee protection. And international organization has also played an indispensable function in the refugee protection. In comparison with the nation, the internationally organized refugee protection has the excellence in the non-political, more continuous feature than the nation, the extensive cooperation with the nation and other international organization, the possession of the detailed protection mechanism and relevant skills etc. But the international organizations have also many shortcomings in terms of the refugee protection. Without the condition of obtaining the national support, the international organization can't effectively protect the refugees. The main capital for the international organization comes from the donation provided by the nation, the national donation has the utilitarianism elements, which shall certainly influence the non-political feature when implementing the refugee protection by the international organization, which makes it difficult to implement the pure justice and fully embody the principle of humanitarianism. In order to carry out the effective refugee protection, the support from the counterpart is needed by both parties from the international organization and the nation as well as the international organization exerts its unique advantage.The UNHCR, as the global international organization, takes the absolute advantage in terms of the refugee protection, and has contributed a great deal for it. In order to prevent the increasing of the refugees and protect the refugees, UNHCR has developed the report distribution, theoretical development, the interpretation of the refugee law, the enlargement concerning the refugee concept, a series of activities regarding the implementation of the local investigation etc. In recent years, the working staff, protective objectives and rescuing projects of the UNHCR have been increasing constantly, the funds have been increasing continuously as well as the activity area scope. In the meanwhile, the UNHCR has actively developed the extensive cooperation with the nation and other international organizations, and non-governmental organizations.The UNHCR has acted an extremely important role in terms of the protection of the Afghanistan refugees.
