In all areas, and all over the world, the @EU_Commission’s partnership with UNHCR is crucial: policy, law, resources. Grateful to @JunckerEU and his colleagues for their constant support. ?? https://t.co/SToLLDxqbk

Launching UNHCR’s #DesperateJourneys report today in Brussels. Fewer people arrive in Europe but more of them die at sea. High time for real policy solutions instead of the current politicised, boat-by-boat approach. https://t.co/DsILf8qmXF

Two days of intense discussions with government, parliament, civil society and refugees in Norway??, whose solid humanitarian tradition makes it a strong partner of UNHCR. https://t.co/TQRYcsv01T

Met leaders of youth wings of Norwegian political parties and discussed with them many, complex refugee issues. Inspiring and encouraging! https://t.co/30s8YaOtWk

Racism, hate speech, discrimination and public lies were the foundations on which the Nazis carried out the gravest crime in the history of humanity. We witness them today, everyday. Let us remain vigilant. #HolocaustRemembranceDay https://t.co/S1bDQ1DdTl

Back from #Davos #WEF19 where these were my messages: Do not forget refugees. Do not think of them as “a crisis”. Invest in their potential. Give them hope. https://t.co/DoZT7cgbhp

Humanitarians need not be alone in responding to refugee crises. Business can also help - and it can invest in refugees and host communities: my key message in #Davos at #WEF19 as we make the #RefugeeCompact a reality for millions. https://t.co/KayFs2VbFV

If the only measure of success in addressing refugee and migration movements is to reduce arrivals in Europe instead of tackling root causes and strengthening rescue at sea, people will continue to drown - a tragic failure which history will not forget. https://t.co/zqXFq0ZTC7

The Parliament of Ethiopia has approved one of the most progressive refugee laws in Africa, upholding the spirit and approach of the Global Refugee Compact. https://t.co/FHzUtzkOc7
