URGC is a non-Profit non-Governmental Organization led by its esteemed volunteers and humanitarians, known as URGC Ambassadors, who are well known and respected by Governments, UN, NGO's and Charities globally non-aligned or part of any government, political or religious group. URGC is an advocate for Equality and does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation or disability. The URGC recognizes that the absence of economic development, which can be exacerbated by conflict, contributes to the international refugee crisis, which includes refugees who are trying to escape severe socio-economic deprivation. While some may be escaping persecution, many leave because they lack any meaningful option to remain. The lack of socio-economic infrastructure which leads to lack of food, water, education, health care and a livelihood, would not ordinarily sustain a refugee claim under the 1951 Convention. Humanitarian support agencies such as UNHCR & UNRWA are expected to respond under the auspices of the 1951 Convention. Such agencies find themselves over-stretched, having to improvise to find solutions to save lives. The URGC recognizes the enormous crisis that the international humanitarian community presently faces and will continue to face if sustainable solutions are not found. URGC believes that we have a civic responsibility to assist such agencies, where and if we can, in finding innovative solutions. URGC is represented in 120 countries via its URGC Ambassadors and further establishing global URGC Consulates via its Esteemed URGC Ambassadors who will take up the role of URGC President of the URGC Consulate within their region/country. Each URGC Consulate President lobbying for the betterment of humanity and refugees within their country and globally.
