Keywords:
UNHCR, IDPs, UkrainaAbstract
This research analyzes the role of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in helping to deal with the problem of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Ukraine from 2020 to 2023. This study focuses on the role of actors carried out by UNHCR as an international organization assisting the Ukrainian government addressing the problem of IDPs through a cluster approach which is divided into three main programs, namely the protection cluster, shelter and non-food assistance cluster, and the CCCM cluster. The method used in writing this research is a qualitative method with a data collection system in the form of document analysis. This research uses the perspective of institutionalism and Clive Archer's international organization theory. This research shows that regardless of UNHCR's status as an intergovernmental organization, UNCHR is able to act as an international actor which can be seen from UNHCR's actions based on the protection cluster, shelter and non-food assistance cluster, and the CCCM cluster.
