Summary/Abstract: Since 1954, the Nansen Refugee Award has been given annually by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in recognition of outstanding service to the cause of refugees. Only once was the award given to an entire nation. In 1986, the award was made to “The People of Canada” in “recognition of the major and sustained contribution made to the cause of refugees in their country and throughout the world over the years” (Los Angeles Times, 1986).
