International Refugee Organization


 

The International Refugee Organization (IRO) was founded in 1946 to deal with the massive refugee problem created by World War II. It was a United Nations specialized agency and took over many of the functions of the earlier United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. In 1952 its operations ceased, and it was replaced by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). It is the only specialized agency to have ever gone out of existence.
