I sat down with UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett to talk about how immigration policies in Australia and around the world helped shape the heart-wrenching stories in her @Netflix series Stateless. https://t.co/SSWff6bSBm

Lebanon has generously hosted refugees for so many years. Now they need our help. This is what we are doing. https://t.co/ukEKn3ip6c #StandWithLebanon #Beirut

A devastating milestone - one million people forced to flee in Burkina Faso. It's the world’s fastest growing humanitarian and protection crisis. The host communities are at breaking point. They need more support. https://t.co/h4rSm0qAm3

Delighted to have participated in today's Fifth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament to discuss challenges, opportunities and solutions for human mobility. Parliamentarians play a key role in advancing protection for asylum-seekers, refugees and IDPs. @IPUPresident #5WCSP https://t.co/cSmFKLbZYi

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, I salute the courageous work of humanitarians around the world, that continues in the midst of a global pandemic, and pay tribute to fallen colleagues who have sacrificed their lives to make the world a better place. https://t.co/ZY2GNkpvps

In the face of unprecedented challenges, humanitarians around the world are stepping up to protect the most vulnerable and to speak up for human rights. Happy #WorldHumanitarianDay to all the #RealLifeHeroes https://t.co/ynruJsFa6M

Interception at sea is not the solution to the Channel crossings. Saving lives should be the priority as well as expanding legal options and ensuring that all those in need of protection can access it. https://t.co/UVcuqS1VHg

More progress on statelessness in Central Asia! A new law in Turkmenistan will help ensure all children born in the country - including those whose parents are undocumented – will have their births registered. #iBelong https://t.co/wgdWD51SsI

When they see inequality, they demand justice. When they see someone in need, they give. When facing the world's biggest challenges, they take action. Not because they are naive. Because young people demand what is right. #YouthDay #Youth4GlobalAction https://t.co/Uxwt08gxPG

UNHCR is supporting #Lebanon in the aftermath of the devastating explosion. Protection is a critical part of the response, especially mental health and psychosocial support. UNHCR's centres, including in Beirut, are open for emergency cases. https://t.co/uLq1cYysei
