The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) (3) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice, first in 1954 and again in 1981, for its global assistance to displaced populations[cite: 3203, 3204]. The remaining entities have each won the award exactly once: the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1969 , UNICEF in 1965 , and the World Food Programme (WFP) in 2020.
