Nansen passports were internationally recognized identity cards first issued by the League of Nations to stateless refugees. Designed in 1921by Fridtjof Nansen, in 1942 they were honored by governments in 52 countries and were the first refugee travel documents. Approximately 450, 000 Nansen passports were issued, helping hundreds of thousands of stateless people to immigrate to a country that would have them. The monument is situated on one side of the Oslo Town Hall.
