Angelina Jolie Instagram – This week, as we mark World Refugee Day, over 123 million people have been forcibly displaced. The highest number ever recorded.
That is not just a statistic. It is a measure of global failure, and a warning of what happens when law, principle, and accountability are abandoned.
Across the world, civilians are being killed, starved, subjected to violence, and displaced. Hospitals are bombed. Food is withheld. Rape is used as a weapon of war. Children die slowly from hunger, many maimed and orphaned before they have learned to speak. Entire communities are forced from their homes. These are not accidents. They are deliberate acts. From Sudan to Gaza, DRC to Ukraine, we are witnessing not only the destruction of lives, but the steady erosion of the laws meant to protect them.
