I had constructive engagements in the US this week with government agencies and NGOs at the border and in Washington. Current restrictions are untenable but I had promising discussions on the US commitment to revive asylum procedures at the border, in line with international law.

Today we mark 7 years since we launched our #IBelong campaign to end statelessness. While much progress has been made, governments must do more to close the legal and policy gaps that continue to leave millions of people stateless. https://t.co/1GKgmX2nGl https://t.co/9LyLPdiJVX

I am back in Malta, continuing exchanges with the authorities on how we can improve protection responses for asylum seekers and refugees – from saving lives at sea, to strengthening asylum procedures and ensuring safe and adequate reception conditions.

We appeal for an end to the arrests of asylum seekers in Libya. We continue to call on the authorities to respect the human rights of asylum seekers and refugees and renew our appeal for the resumption of humanitarian flights out of the country. https://t.co/ALXetxRmy6

Instead of equitable sharing of responsibilities we see responsibility shift to those with the fewest resources to bear it. This is unacceptable. The international protection crisis calls for urgent global collaboration and, above all, for political will https://t.co/PaDbKLGMCu

International law prohibits collective expulsions. We call on states to respect the fundamental human rights of Haitians on the move and refrain from expulsions that are undertaken without proper assessment of their individual protection needs. https://t.co/rRLNuN9NB5

We are shocked by the tragic killing of Rohingya refugee leader Mohib Ullah. We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms and urge authorities to undertake an immediate investigation and hold those responsible to account.
