Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees

The Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees (ICR), also known as the Intergovernmental Committee for Political Refugees or the Évian Committee (French: Comité d'Évian), abbreviated as IGC, or sometimes IGCR, was formed on July 14th, 1938 by the Évian Conference to negotiate additional entry quotas for Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and Austria and to coordinate their orderly departure with the German authorities. During and after World War II, the organization was responsible for the resettlement of displaced persons.
