   UNHCR is involved in many activities in Pakistan, running one of its most complex operations in the world. . In most countries UNHCR provides emergency assistance to newly arriving refugees or maintains refugee camps for extended periods of time or assists refugees to repatriate or helps refugees to be resettled to third countries. In Pakistan it provides all four types of aid at the same time. As well as repatriating Afghans wishing to go home, it cares for some one million Afghans refugees living in the refugee camps of Pakistan. It also deals with other nationalities seeking the protection of refugee status, seeks to resettle those for whom return to their homeland or local integration is impossible and works extensively to explain the needs of refugees. UNHCR's education assistance extends beyond working with the government to improve legislation, to providing instruction to officials and the public on the rights of refugees. The agency does extensive work to educate the public and government officials on the needs of refugees and Pakistan's obligations.
