António Guterres Instagram – From Sudan to Ukraine, from the Middle East to Myanmar to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and beyond, conflict, climate chaos and upheaval are forcing record numbers of people from their homes and fueling profound human suffering.
The latest figures show that a total of more than 120 million people around the world are forcibly displaced, including 43.5 million refugees.
#WorldRefugeeDay is about honouring their strength and courage – and stepping up efforts to protect and support refugees. They need global solidarity and the ability to rebuild their lives in dignity.
Let’s reaffirm the world’s collective responsibility in assisting and welcoming refugees, in upholding their human rights – including the right to seek – and ultimately, in resolving conflicts so that those forced from their communities can return home. | Posted on 20/Jun/2024 03:01:33
