Arbitrary displacement is often used as a strategy to take control of a territory and remove populations from it for various purposes. Today we are launching guidance to help states discharge their intl legal obligations to prevent + prohibit this practice https://t.co/QTwI2R6OZc

Countering racism requires each of us to mobilise against all forms and manifestations of racial discrimination and injustice, and to ensure a safe environment for those who speak up. Individually and collectively, we must push forward to #FightRacism and do better. https://t.co/viWc35VBK1

Asylum seekers need to be heard and protected. I have seen firsthand how the U.S. denies them that fundamental human right on health grounds under the Title 42 policy. We again call on the U.S. government to lift these restrictions swiftly. https://t.co/r5tXXkQc4L

As we mark #InternationalWomensDay, we urge governments, civil society and each of us and our communities to address gender inequality in all its forms and to support access to education, and promote the leadership, inclusion, and full participation of displaced women and girls. https://t.co/Wsd6KXbyq8

We fear that conflict, climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic will worsen the plight of many refugee, displaced and stateless women and girls - many of whom were already facing deep-rooted inequalities and discrimination. #InternationalWomensDay https://t.co/lT254yjwWA

2 million people have now fled Ukraine in the past 12 days alone. They now join more than 20 million refugees from Afghanistan, DRC, Venezuela, Syria, Myanmar and beyond, who've been forced to flee owing to circumstances beyond their control. No-one becomes a refugee by choice.

We welcome the high level dialogue with the Government of Tanzania to protect and find solutions for refugees and to support host communities. https://t.co/6yvsmoPJ2y

We're gravely concerned by the situation in Ukraine, with reports of casualties and people fleeing for safety. Civilians + civilian infrastructure must be protected at all times. We're also working with neighboring countries, calling to keep borders open to those seeking safety. https://t.co/SxcOGfV0jH
