Today is the UN Refugee Agency's 71st birthday. It is a moment of sombre reflection on the deficit of global peace over the past 7 decades and what that has meant for the millions of people who have been driven from their homes as a result. https://t.co/7b2H3DXimX

Two years ago at the Global Refugee Forum, the world vowed to do more to better support refugees and their hosts. Today we host the first follow-up to the Forum - to take stock of progress and secure a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable response. https://t.co/1s1SgaWb24

A society cannot stand for human rights unless it stands for the human rights of all – including refugees, migrants, stateless people, minorities and others. When anyone’s human rights are denied, everyone’s rights are undermined. #HumanRightsDay https://t.co/03QOiVj24L

150M people affected by conflict + crises will need humanitarian protection support next year- up from 113M in 2021 and driven by new and renewed conflicts around the world. I look forward to opening this discussion today on the state of protection and what more needs to be done. https://t.co/5snCmpWI0c
