- UNHCR Executive Committee (110 countries): A policymaking body made up of member states that guide UNHCR’s budget and program decisions; most are also part of the 137 field operation countries.
- The countries listed under the UNHCR Advisory Committee (established in 1951) were also members of the UNREF Executive Committee (established in 1955) and became part of the Executive Committee of the High Commissioner’s Programme when it was formed in 1958. Thus, all Advisory Committee members are also counted as Executive Committee members.
- UNHCR Field Operations (137 countries): Countries where UNHCR is actively working on the ground to support refugees and displaced persons.
