face and deal with sexual violence and harrassment like rape, survival sex, and early
marriage. This research will analyze the roles UNHCR have in handling SGBV victims in
Lebanon using the international organization theory by Clive Archer and humanitarian

UNHCR according to the international organization theory. This research uses the
literature study method with 2012-2016 set as its timeframe. The result of this research is
that humanitarian diplomacy activities are present in Lebanon, and UNHCR has played its
role as an international organization in Lebanon.
